Import Tips

• Verify fiber composition exceeds 80% sulfate or soda wood fibers via lab testing to confirm kraft classification and avoid reclassification to 4805

• Provide mill test certificates documenting grammage ≤150 g/m² and end-use as bag/sack paper to support 4804.39.4020 entry

• Watch for common pitfalls like misdeclaring as sack kraft (4804.21) if weight exceeds 115 g/m² or burst specs don't match
