Bleached Kraft Linerboard 300 gsm

Machine-finished bleached kraft paperboard in rolls, weighing 300 g/m², with over 95% chemical wood fibers uniformly bleached throughout the mass. Used primarily as the outer liner for corrugated boxes and shipping containers. Falls under HTS 4804.52.00.50 as uncoated kraft paperboard over 225 g/m², bleached uniformly with high chemical fiber content, not meeting specific kraftliner strength specs.

4804.11.00Same rate: 35%

If meets kraftliner Mullen bursting strength specs

4810.22Lower: 10% vs 35%

If coated on both sides

Light-weight coated paper classification applies if dual-coated with mechanical fiber base, regardless of kraft content

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify uniform bleaching and exact fiber content (>95% chemical process) via lab certification to avoid reclassification to lower headings

Measure grammage precisely as >225 g/m²; provide Mullen burst test results if claiming kraftliner status for potential duty differences

Ensure documentation shows uncoated status and not for printing (Chapter 49) or converted articles (Chapter 48 headings 4814+)
