Electrical Grade Kraft Condenser Paper from China
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.

Import Tips
• 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
