Ultra-Lightweight Recycled Testliner Paper from China
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.

Import Tips
• 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
