Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the paper meets sack kraft strength and weight criteria
Sack kraft paper is specifically defined for bag-making and may apply if strength specs are met.
If the paper meets kraftliner Mullen burst strength requirements
Kraftliner is used for corrugated board and has distinct strength properties.
If the paper is already formed into bags
Finished bags are classified in heading 48.19, not as paper in rolls.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify the paper does not meet sack kraft specifications (subheading note 2) despite its use in bags, as the strength requirements differ
• Ensure rolls are in widths exceeding 36 cm to fall under heading 48.04
• Keep production data showing fiber composition for CBSA verification
