Import Tips
• Verify the paper is unbleached kraft via lab testing for alpha-cellulose content to avoid reclassification
• Provide certificates of recovery origin to prove it's genuine waste/scrap, not manufacturing rejects
• Watch for contamination levels; excessive non-paper materials can lead to customs rejection
