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
