Import Tips
• Include documentation proving >50% recovered fiber content to qualify under testliner recycled subheadings
• Avoid common pitfall of mislabeling as 'kraft' if sulfate content <80%; test for process type
• For US imports, ensure no further processing like printing, which could shift to Chapter 49
