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
