Generic Offset Printing Newsprint Roll 45gsm
Uncoated newsprint rolls weighing 45 g/m², made from chemical pulp with minimal mechanical fibres, intended for high-speed offset newspaper printing. Despite the name, it does not meet the definition of 'newsprint' in chapter note 4 because it lacks the required mechanical fibre content. It is therefore classified under tariff item 4802.55.00 as other uncoated graphic paper in rolls.
