Import Tips & Compliance

• Submit pulp process certificates confirming chemical (sulfate/soda) fibers >95% and uniform bleaching to prevent misclassification

• Avoid common pitfall of grammage mismeasurement; use calibrated scales and declare exact weight range

• Label as 'other' uncoated kraft to distinguish from converted products like boxes (heading 4819)
