Alternative Classifications

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

4804.11.00Same rate: 35%

If weighing over 115 g/m² with sufficient Mullen bursting strength

Heavier kraft paper qualifies as kraftliner under 4804.11, intended for linerboard rather than sacks.

4804.41Lower: 10% vs 35%

If bleached

Bleaching the kraft paper changes it from unbleached sack kraft to bleached sack kraft under 4804.41.

4805.24Lower: 10% vs 35%

If made mainly from recovered waste paper

Papers with ≥50% recycled content and specific burst index fall under fluting or testliner provisions in 4805.24.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify fiber composition via lab testing to confirm ≥80% sulfate/soda wood fibers and exact Mullen burst index to avoid reclassification

Provide mill test certificates documenting weight (60-115 g/m²), stretch factors, and tear/tensile minima for customs compliance

Ensure rolls are machine-finished and uncoated; common pitfall is misdeclaring bleached variants which shift to 4804.41
