Import Tips
• Submit detailed pulp analysis reports to CBP proving mechanical/chemi-mechanical fiber percentage over 10%
• Label rolls clearly with weight, width, and coating type to prevent confusion with lightweight or woodfree grades
• Watch for over-declaration of sheet sizes; strictly rolls qualify here, sheets go to adjacent subheadings
