Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If weighing ≤150 g/m²
Lighter bristol papers in sheets/rolls classify under the ≤150 g/m² subheading within the same non-mechanical fiber category.
If made with ≥80% sulfate wood fibers and meeting kraftliner burst strength
High-strength linerboard specs like minimum Mullen burst for >115 g/m² move it to kraftliner under heading 4804.
If coated or processed for specific printing like litho
Paperboard coated on one/both sides for graphic purposes falls into 4811, differing from uncoated bristol.
