Ultra-Lightweight Recycled Testliner Paper
This is an uncoated testliner paper made mainly from recovered waste paper, weighing only 12 g/m², used as a lightweight liner for corrugated packaging. It meets the HTS 4805.24.50.00 criteria with a Mullen burst index not less than 2 kPa·m²/g and is supplied in rolls for corrugating machines. Its low weight makes it ideal for specialty thin packaging applications.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If made from unbleached hardwood semichemical fibers
Semichemical fluting paper uses combined mechanical/chemical pulping with specific CMT crush resistance, not recovered pulp.
If ≥80% sulfate wood fibers and Mullen strength meets kraftliner specs
Kraftliner requires chemical sulfate process fibers and higher bursting strength table values, excluding recycled content.
If in sheets instead of rolls and weight still ≤15 g/m²
Heading 4805 specifies forms; sheets may fall under different statistical suffixes or require note 3 verification.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify Mullen burst index certification from supplier to confirm ≥2 kPa·m²/g as per subheading note for testliner
• Provide lab test reports on fiber composition showing mainly recovered pulp to avoid reclassification to virgin fiber headings
• Check roll weight and g/m² precisely; weights over 15 g/m² shift to other subheadings like 4805.24.40

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.
Micro-Weight Waste Paper Testliner
Testliner made wholly from waste and scrap paper, weighing 14 g/m² with a minimum Mullen burst index of 2 kPa·m²/g, in rolls for high-speed corrugator machines. Falls under HTS 4805.24.50.00 as lightweight recycled linerboard not further worked. Used for eco-friendly thin-wall box liners.
Low-Grammage Recycled Corrugating Liner
Uncoated paper in rolls weighing 11 g/m², composed mainly of recycled pulp with a surface layer of unbleached pulp, exhibiting testliner strength for corrugating medium liner. Precisely matches HTS 4805.24.50.00 for weights not over 15 g/m². Ideal for minimizing material in sustainable packaging.
Featherweight Testliner from Scrap Pulp
Specialty testliner paperboard at 9 g/m² from 100% scrap paper recovery, with Mullen burst index exceeding 2 kPa·m²/g, uncoated in jumbo rolls. Classified in HTS 4805.24.50.00 for its ultra-low weight and recycled composition per subheading notes. Used in micro-corrugated board production.
