Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If made mainly from chemical wood pulp
Papers from chemical pulp like bleached printing paper fall under a different subheading in 4707.
If other types of recovered paper not mainly mechanical pulp
Non-mechanical pulp waste paper uses subheadings like 4707.90 for mixed or coated varieties.
If not sufficiently processed as waste/scrap
Intact newsprint sheets in roll form may classify as unwritten paper under Chapter 48 if not scrap.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify the paper is mainly mechanical pulp (e.g
• newsprint) via lab testing to avoid reclassification
• Ensure bales are clean and free from non-paper contaminants like plastics to meet import standards
• Provide recycling origin documentation to qualify for potential duty exemptions
