Photo Base Paper Roll
Uncoated paper specifically designed as a base for photo-sensitive emulsions, supplied in rolls for graphic arts applications. It meets the criteria for heading 4802 as uncoated paper used for photo-sensitive purposes, not perforated, and distinct from newsprint or household paper. Weighs around 90 g/m² with high whiteness for optimal imaging.

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 coated on one or both sides
Coated paper for graphic purposes shifts to subheading 4802.54, as coating changes material properties and use.
If light-weight coated for printing
Light-weight coated paper (≤72 g/m²) for printing falls under 4810.22 per subheading note, differing from uncoated base stock.
If in rectangular sheets of fixed size
Loose sheets cut to size may classify under 4802.90 instead of rolls/sheets of any size in 4802.20.
