Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm ≥25% cotton and >10% mechanical fibers for accurate classification

• Ensure sheets are rectangular, unfolded dimensions ≤435 mm x 297 mm; oversized sheets shift to other subheadings

• Provide mill certificates documenting pulp composition to avoid misclassification as pure wood pulp paper
