Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify fiber content exceeds 95% chemical process wood fibers via lab testing to confirm classification; ensure coating is solely inorganic kaolin without binders affecting duty
• Provide mill certificates showing uniform bleaching and weight under 150 g/m² to avoid reclassification
