Import Tips
• Document pulp composition with fiber analysis to confirm 'mainly bleached chemical pulp' criterion
• Separate coated from uncoated stock to prevent rejection; coatings can affect deinking efficiency
• Avoid bundling with colored pages, as 'not colored in the mass' is key for this subheading
