Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
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.
If >40% sulfite process fibers for wrapping paper
Sulfite wrapping paper has ash ≤8% and different burst index, excluding mainly recovered pulp testliner.
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
