Import Tips

Verify supplier certification that fiber content is mainly recovered paper and meets Mullen burst index of at least 2 kPa·m²/g to avoid reclassification

Request mill test reports confirming weight between 30-150 g/m² and uncoated status; common pitfall is mislabeling as virgin kraftliner

Ensure rolls are not further worked (e.g

no printing or coating) as that shifts to Chapter 48 headings like 4811 or 49
