Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If in rectangular sheets rather than rolls
HTS splits rolls (.60.00) from sheets (.40.00) for photographic base paper.
If for general printing use without photo sensitization intent
Lack of specific photographic end-use documentation leads to classification as standard printing paper.
If lightly coated on both sides
Any coating shifts it from uncoated paper (4802) to coated paper (4810).

Our AI classifier can analyze your specific product and recommend the correct HTS code with confidence.
Import Tips & Compliance
• Request mill test reports proving non-mechanical fiber dominance and exact grammage to support 4802.55 classification
• Label shipments clearly as 'photographic base paper - unsensitized' to prevent confusion with finished photo paper
