Uncoated kraft paperboard in rolls weighing 300 g/m², made from at least 80% sulfate wood fibers, used as the outer liner for corrugated boxes. It falls under HTS 4804.59.00.00 as other kraft paperboard over 225 g/m², not qualifying as kraftliner due to lacking specific Mullen bursting strength. Primarily for packaging manufacturing.

Import Tips
• Verify fiber content exceeds 80% sulfate wood fibers via lab testing to confirm kraft classification
• Provide mill test certificates showing grammage >225 g/m² and uncoated status to avoid misclassification
• Watch for reclassification to 4804.11 if Mullen burst meets kraftliner specs
