Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify fiber content ≥80% sulfate/soda wood fibers via lab testing to confirm kraft classification and avoid reclassification to 4802/4803
• Provide mill certificates showing weight ≤150 g/m² and non-kraftliner status; declare as 'base stock' not finished articles to prevent Chapter 48 note conflicts
