Import Tips

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
