Import Tips & Compliance

Verify fiber content certification showing >95% chemical process wood fibers and uniform bleaching to avoid reclassification to 4804.41

Provide mill test reports confirming weight between 150-225 g/m² and lack of coatings; common pitfall is mislabeling as kraftliner

Ensure documentation specifies 'other' status, not meeting 4804.11 kraftliner Mullen strength specs
