Alternative Classifications

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

4804.21.00Same rate: 35%

If sack kraft specs met (60-115 g/m², tear/tensile minima)

Sack kraft requires chemical sulfate fibers with specific stretch/tear values, not applicable to ultra-low weights.

4805.30.00Same rate: 35%

If >40% sulfite process fibers for wrapping paper

Sulfite wrapping paper has ash ≤8% and different burst index, excluding mainly recovered pulp testliner.

4802.54.10Same rate: 35%

If uncoated but weighing <15 g/m² without liner properties

General lightweight paper lacks testliner burst specs, falling under earlier headings for printing grades.

Import Tips & Compliance

Request supplier's interpolated Mullen strength data if weight deviates from standard tables

Declare exact basis weight on entry; customs often weighs samples for subheading 4805.24.50 accuracy

Pair with EPA recycling certifications for preferential duty treatment under certain trade programs
