Import Tips & Compliance

• Submit affidavits from manufacturer confirming ≥80% chemical sulfate fiber content to meet kraft definition

• Avoid bulk packaging that mimics retail sets; declare as rolls/sheets to stay in 4804, not converted articles

• Test for ash content and impurities; high ash may disqualify from condenser specs and shift to 4805
