Import Tips
• Obtain supplier affidavits confirming chemical pulping process (no >10% mechanical fibers) for smooth clearance
• Package in retail-ready formats but avoid sets with envelopes that could trigger 'sold as set' reclassification
• Monitor ash content and coating specifications to ensure no binders alter the inorganic-only coating requirement
