Alternative Classifications

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

4810.22Lower: 12.5% vs 37.5%

If lightweight coated on both sides with mechanical pulp base

Light-weight coated paper has specific coating weight limits in 4810; uncoated kraft differs.

4804.19.00Same rate: 37.5%

If kraft paper >150 g/m² not for condensers

Weight threshold separates subheadings; >150 g/m² kraft goes to 4804.19.

5903.90.20Same rate: 37.5%

If textile-coated for capacitor reinforcement

Textile-impregnated papers classify in Chapter 59; plain kraft stays in 48.

Import Tips & Compliance

• Supply technical datasheets showing dielectric constant <3.5; generic thin paper may classify under 4802

• Use ISF filing early for electronics components; delays common due to dual-use scrutiny

• Confirm no subsidiary printing; primary electrical use must dominate per chapter notes
