Import Tips
• 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)
