Import Tips
• 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
