Multiwall Bag Kraft Paper from China

Uncoated kraft paper in rolls, weighing 120 g/m², designed specifically for manufacturing multiwall paper bags used in packaging industrial goods like chemicals and food products. It meets bag or sack paper criteria under 4804.39.4020 due to its sulfate wood fiber content (over 80%) and suitability for bag production, distinguishing it from heavier kraftliner. This lightweight paper (150 g/m² or less) is machine-finished for strength in wrapping and sack applications.

Import Tips

Verify fiber composition exceeds 80% sulfate or soda wood fibers via lab testing to confirm kraft classification and avoid reclassification to 4805

Provide mill test certificates documenting grammage ≤150 g/m² and end-use as bag/sack paper to support 4804.39.4020 entry

Watch for common pitfalls like misdeclaring as sack kraft (4804.21) if weight exceeds 115 g/m² or burst specs don't match
