Photographic Base Paper Roll 120gsm
Uncoated paper in rolls, weighing 120 g/m², with over 10% mechanical fiber content, specifically designed as base stock to be sensitized with light-sensitive emulsions for analog photography prints. It meets the specifications for HTS 4802.61.50.00 as basic paper intended for photographic sensitization, not yet coated or perforated. This paper provides a stable, high-quality substrate for black and white or color photographic processes.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If ≤10% mechanical or chemi-mechanical fibers
Papers with low mechanical fiber content shift to subheading 4802.56, as the mechanical fiber threshold determines the 'other' vs 'not containing' distinction in 4802 rolls.
If in rectangular sheets rather than rolls
The form factor (rolls vs sheets) separates 4802.61 from 4802.62; sheets of identical paper for photo sensitization would classify here instead.
If pre-coated on both sides with ≤15 g/m² coating
Coated paper for graphic purposes falls in 4810; if sensitized base receives lightweight coating, it moves out of uncoated 4802 entirely.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify fiber content certification showing >10% mechanical fibers to confirm classification; ensure supplier provides specs matching photographic base use to avoid reclassification to 4802.56; declare exact weight per roll and confirm uncoated status via lab testing if challenged
