Electrosensitive Imaging Base Paper
Uncoated roll paper optimized for electro-sensitive paper used in electrostatic copiers and plotters, with dielectric properties and smooth surface. HTS 4802.20.4040 applies as 'other' base for electro-sensitive paper, distinct from standard writing/printing stock. Ensures clean imaging without static interference.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If under 40 g/m² for newsprint-like graphic use
Lightweight uncoated paper defaults to printing subheadings without special base designation.
If cut to size sheets for registers or account books
Chapter note excludes loose cut sheets from 4820, but finished articles go there.
If kraftliner grade with sulfate fibers >80% and Mullen strength >393 kPa
High-strength base papers meeting kraftliner specs classify under corrugated base.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide dielectric strength test reports; CBP may require proof of electro-sensitive end-use
• Declare exact grammage and roll width; mismatches lead to reclassification
