Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

4805.11.00.00Same rate: 35%

If made mainly of unbleached hardwood semichemical fibers instead of straw

Semichemical fluting paper under 4805.11 requires ≥65% unbleached hardwood fibers with CMT>1.8 N/g/m², changing pulp source heading.

4805.24Lower: 10% vs 35%

If made mainly from recovered waste paper pulp

Fluting paper from recycled pulp falls under 4805.24 with Mullen burst index ≥2 kPa·m²/g, differing from virgin straw pulp.

4804.29.00Same rate: 35%

If in rolls >115 g/m² but classified as sack kraft paper

Sack kraft requires ≥80% sulfate/soda wood fibers with specific burst/tear specs, not straw pulp.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify CMT 30 crush resistance >1.4 N/g/m² via lab testing; provide test reports to CBP for classification confirmation

Ensure documentation proves ≥ main straw pulp content from mech/chem process and weight ≤150 g/m² to avoid reclassification
