Electrical Grade Kraft Condenser Paper

Unbleached kraft paper specifically engineered for capacitor insulation, in rolls under 150 g/m², with high tensile strength and low moisture absorption. Classified under HTS 4804.31.20.00 as 'other' condenser paper, distinct from standard kraft due to its electrical insulation properties derived from sulfate pulp.

Alternative Classifications

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

4804.21.00.00Same rate: 35%

If suitable for sack kraft with specific burst and stretch specs

Paper meeting sack kraft Mullen burst index and stretch criteria (60-115 g/m²) classifies under 4804.21, not condenser.

4805.11.00.00Same rate: 35%

If made with semichemical hardwood fibers

Semichemical fluting paper with ≥65% unbleached hardwood and CMT crush resistance goes to 4805.11.

4823.90.10.00Same rate: 35%

If cut to size and perforated for Jacquard machines

Perforated paper cards for machines fall under 4823 per chapter notes, not rolls or sheets of heading 4804.

Import Tips & Compliance

Include technical datasheets proving electrical grade specs like dielectric constant to differentiate from general kraft paper

Declare exact basis weight and confirm uncoated status; exceeding 150 g/m² risks shift to 4804.21 or sack kraft categories

Watch for contamination; any non-kraft fibers below 80% threshold may reclassify to generic paper under 4805
