Import Tips
• Verify bleaching is uniform throughout the mass and chemical pulp exceeds 95% via lab testing to avoid reclassification
• Provide mill test certificates confirming weight ≥225 g/m² and kraft specifications for CBP review
• Avoid common pitfalls like misdeclaring as corrugated medium, which falls under chapter 48 heading 4805
