Import Tips
• Verify Mullen burst index ≥2 kPa·m²/g via lab testing; non-compliant material shifts to 4805.59
• Provide mill test certificates confirming ≥65% recycled fiber content and weight between 15-30 g/m²
• Avoid common pitfall of declaring as virgin kraftliner (4804.11), which requires sulfate process fibers
