Import Tips
• Verify unbleached sulfate fiber content exceeds 80% and weight ≤150 g/m² via lab testing to confirm 4804.31.4020 classification
• Provide mill test certificates showing Mullen burst strength to avoid reclassification as general kraft paper
• Declare in rolls only; sheets may shift to heading 4823, triggering higher scrutiny
