Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

4706.91.00.00Same rate: 35%

If for mechanical pulping of the same paperboard waste

Mechanical processing preserves more lignin, classifying it separately from chemically purified pulps.

4804.11.00.00Same rate: 35%

If made into sack kraft paper from recovered fibers

Advancement to paper stage, even from recycled pulp, places it in paper headings rather than raw pulp.

4703.21.00Lower: 25% vs 35%

If from virgin coniferous wood instead of recovered

Virgin chemical woodpulp heads are in Chapter 47's earlier headings, differentiated by source material.
