More Specific Codes
This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the paper contains less than 10% mechanical fibres
Without the mechanical fibre threshold, the paper would be classified as other graphic paper under a different subheading.
If supplied in rolls rather than sheets
The subheading structure distinguishes between rolls and sheets for paper with mechanical fibres.
If the paper is cut to non-standard sizes or has been surface-treated
Further processing or non-rectangular shapes would move it out of heading 48.02.
Not sure which classification is right?
The Tariff Assistant works through the GRI rules on your specific product to reach the right tariff item — and can price the duty on it in the same conversation.
Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify that the paper is uncoated and that the mechanical fibre content exceeds 10%; supplier documentation should confirm this
• Check the sheet dimensions—if one side is 43 cm or less and the other 56 cm or less, it may be considered converted and excluded
• Keep records of the weight per square metre to support the classification
