Import Tips

• Label rolls clearly as 'bag or sack paper' and include specs confirming <150 g/m² to differentiate from sack kraft in 4804.21

• Ensure documentation shows non-corrugating use; common error is classifying as fluting paper (4805) if strength misinterpreted

• Comply with US paper import quotas if applicable by checking fiber origin certificates
