Alternative Classifications

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

4804.11.00Same rate: 37.5%

If weight >115 g/m² with Mullen bursting strength ≥393 kPa

Qualifies as kraftliner paperboard, a heavier variant under different strength criteria.

4804.21.00Same rate: 37.5%

If machine-finished but failing exact tear/tensile minima

Still sack kraft but may fall under 'other' if not meeting precise interpolated specs.

4805.24Lower: 12.5% vs 37.5%

If mainly from recovered waste paper pulp

Recycled content dominant shifts to fluting/testliner papers in 4805.

Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify fiber composition certificate showing ≥80% sulfate/soda wood fibers to qualify under 4804

• Provide Mullen burst index and tensile test reports matching subheading specs to avoid reclassification

• Declare exact grammage (60-115 g/m²); exceeding limits shifts to kraftliner under 4804.11/19
