Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

4802.54.31.00Same rate: 35%

If ≤10% mechanical fiber content

Papers with mostly chemical wood pulp (≤10% mechanical) fall under 4802.54, as they are higher quality writing/printing stock.

4802.62Lower: 10% vs 35%

If weight 40-150 g/m²

Same mechanical fiber composition but heavier grammage shifts to 4802.62 for denser printing papers.

4801.00.01Same rate: 35%

If primarily newsprint pulp regardless of fiber %

Heading 4801 covers specific newsprint grades in rolls, preempting 4802 even with mechanical fibers.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify fiber content lab reports showing >10% mechanical or chemi-mechanical fibers to qualify under this subheading

Ensure roll width exceeds 15 cm and grammage <40 g/m² via certified measurements to prevent reclassification to heavier weights

Provide end-use documentation for printing/graphic purposes; common pitfall is shipping in sheets, which may shift to 4802.62
