Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If coated on one or both sides
Coated paperboard for packaging shifts to Chapter 48 heading 4810, as coating changes the surface properties and classification.
If unbleached or less than 95% bleached
Lower bleaching levels or unbleached kraft paperboard falls under 4804.41, based on uniform mass bleaching requirement.
If imported as pre-cut, creased sheets for retail sale
Processed into filter paper or honeycomb cores moves to 4823 as articles of paperboard, not raw stock.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm >95% chemical wood fibers and uniform bleaching for 4804.42 classification
• Provide mill test certificates showing grammage (150-225 g/m²) and Mullen burst strength to avoid reclassification as heavier paperboard
• Ensure documentation specifies 'folding carton stock' end-use to prevent shifts to general kraft paper subheadings
