If more than 10% mechanical or chemi-mechanical fibers
Papers with over 10% such fibers are classified under 4802.53, separating wood-containing from purer chemical pulp papers.
If newsprint-grade with mechanical fibers over 10%
Heading 4801 covers newsprint specifically, prioritizing it over 4802 for certain fiber compositions.
If cut to rectangular sheets of 15 cm x 15 cm or larger
While rolls are included, specific sheet sizes may fall under weight-based subheadings in 4802.56 if >40 g/m² equivalent.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify fiber content certification to confirm less than 10% mechanical fibers, as exceeding this shifts to 4802.53
• Provide grammage test reports showing <40 g/m² to avoid reclassification to higher weight subheadings like 4802.56
• Ensure roll dimensions and non-perforated status match heading 4802 exclusions for punch-cards
