Bleached Kraft Linerboard 180 g/m² from Germany

This uncoated kraft paperboard, bleached uniformly throughout the mass with over 95% chemical wood fibers, weighs 180 g/m² and is supplied in rolls for corrugated box manufacturing. It meets HTS 4804.42.00.50 as 'other' bleached kraft paperboard in this weight range (150-225 g/m²), not qualifying as kraftliner due to lacking specified Mullen bursting strength. Primarily used as the outer liner in shipping containers.

Import Tips

Verify fiber content certification showing >95% chemical process wood fibers and uniform bleaching to avoid reclassification to 4804.41

Provide mill test reports confirming weight between 150-225 g/m² and lack of coatings; common pitfall is mislabeling as kraftliner

Ensure documentation specifies 'other' status, not meeting 4804.11 kraftliner Mullen strength specs
