Vegetable Parchment Baking Paper Rolls from Japan

Vegetable parchment is a dense, grease-resistant paper produced by passing paper through a sulfuric acid bath, creating a parchmentized surface that repels oils and moisture. This product is sold in rolls for lining baking sheets and trays, preventing food from sticking without added fats. It falls under HTS 4806.10.00.00 as vegetable parchment due to its specific manufacturing process and greaseproof properties.

Import Tips

• Verify sulfuric acid treatment certification to confirm vegetable parchment classification and avoid reclassification as standard kraft paper

• Ensure food contact compliance (e.g

• FDA 21 CFR 176.180) with supplier certificates for U.S. baking applications

• Declare exact g/m² weight accurately; papers over certain thresholds may shift to other subheadings
