Import Tips
• Require brightness and pulp type certification to distinguish from mechanical pulp grades
• Screen for plastic or metal contaminants; levels over 1% can trigger reclassification or duties
• Document chain of custody from offices to baler to prove it's recovered waste, not manufacturing scrap
