WOOD PULP OBTAINED BY A COMBINATION OF MECHANICAL AND CHEMICAL PULPING PROCESSES
Wood pulp from combined mechanical and chemical pulping processes
HSN 4705 00 00 (wood pulp obtained by a combination of mechanical and chemical pulping processes) is not covered by a Bureau of Indian Standards Quality Control Order and carries no Partner Government Agency clearance requirement at the tariff-line level. Import follows the standard customs procedure: Importer-Exporter Code (IEC), bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Other pulp products in Chapter 47 — including recovered paper and paperboard scrap — may be subject to distinct import conditions, making accurate classification the principal importer risk.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line reflects the specific combination-process origin of this pulp grade; purely mechanical pulps and purely chemical pulps are separately classified within Chapter 47 and may attract different treatment on examination. Re-classification by customs to a more specific or restricted pulp category triggers retrospective compliance, including potential detention pending resolution. Confirm the production process documentation — mill certificates, pulp grade specifications — before relying on the absence of compliance at this line.
