Tissue-Weight Recycled Linerboard
An extremely thin testliner paperboard at 10 g/m², produced from recycled paperboard scrap with a dyed surface layer, suitable for delicate inner packaging liners. Classified under HTS 4805.24.50.00 due to its low weight, uncoated state, and testliner burst properties. Primarily used in lightweight corrugated flute protection.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If mainly straw pulp with CMT 30 resistance >1.4 N/g/m²
Straw-based fluting paper has distinct mechanical/chemical pulping specs differing from recovered testliner.
If newsprint-grade recycled paper without testliner strength
Lack of specified Mullen burst index moves it to general uncoated paper, not specialized linerboard.
If perforated or cut to specific shapes for machines
Chapter note excludes processed articles like perforated cards from heading 4820/4823.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Include documentation proving >50% recovered fiber content to qualify under testliner recycled subheadings
• Avoid common pitfall of mislabeling as 'kraft' if sulfate content <80%; test for process type
• For US imports, ensure no further processing like printing, which could shift to Chapter 49
