Recycled Newsprint Mechanical Pulp
Mechanical pulp produced from recovered waste newsprint paper, using a mechanical defibration process without chemical dissolution. It falls under HTS 4706.91.00.00 as pulp from recovered paper classified as mechanical, retaining high lignin content for opacity in low-grade paper production.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If chemically processed
Chemical pulping of recovered fibers shifts to 4706.92, as it involves dissolution unlike mechanical methods.
If recovered from non-paper fibrous cellulosic material like cotton rags
Pulp from other cellulosic sources like textile waste falls under 4707, distinct from paper-derived pulp.
If pressed into newsprint sheets rather than loose pulp
Transformed into paper form moves to Chapter 48, no longer qualifying as raw pulp.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify pulp is mechanically processed from recovered paper sources via lab testing to confirm classification under 4706.91
• Provide certificates of origin and waste content documentation to avoid misclassification as virgin mechanical pulp
• Watch for contamination levels, as high non-cellulosic impurities can trigger reclassification or additional inspections
