Import Tips
• Test for Mullen burst to confirm not kraftliner (4804.11); provide reports showing below minimum strengths for 4804.39
• Avoid pitfalls by specifying 'not for corrugating' in invoices, preventing shift to 4805 fluting categories
• For food-contact use, ensure FDA compliance with pulp purity docs alongside HTS paperwork
