Import Tips
• Test and document brightness levels to prove uniform bleaching throughout the mass
• Declare exact basis weight per roll/sheet; weights under 225 g/m² reclassify to 4804.41 or similar
• Watch for contamination with recycled fibers, which could disqualify the >95% chemical fiber requirement
