Import Tips
• Verify the paper is mainly mechanical pulp (e.g
• newsprint) via lab testing to avoid reclassification
• Ensure bales are clean and free from non-paper contaminants like plastics to meet import standards
• Provide recycling origin documentation to qualify for potential duty exemptions
