Import Tips

• Verify at least 80% sulfate wood fiber content via lab testing to confirm kraft classification and avoid reclassification to 4802

• Provide mill test certificates showing grammage under 150 g/m² and unbleached status; common pitfall is improper weight declaration

• Label rolls clearly as 'unbleached kraft wrapping paper' to prevent confusion with bleached variants under 4804.41
