Import Tips
• Confirm no kraft sulfate fiber dominance (≥80%) or it risks 4804 classification; request pulp process certification
• Measure unfolded sheet sizes precisely—must exceed 36x15 cm to avoid smaller format subheadings
• Label rolls clearly with thickness and weight to facilitate CBP inspection; pitfall is moisture-induced thickness variation
