Electrical Condenser Tissue Paper

Ultra-thin, high-purity paper in rolls weighing under 150 g/m², specifically designed for use as dielectric insulation in oil-filled electrical capacitors. It meets the precise specifications for condenser paper under HTS 4805.91.20.00 due to its uncoated nature, low weight, and suitability for high-voltage applications without further processing.

Alternative Classifications

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

4805Same rate: 35%

If electrical properties not certified for condensers

Falls to general other uncoated paper ≤150 g/m² without specific condenser tissue qualifications.

4810.22Lower: 10% vs 35%

If coated on both sides with ≤15 g/m² per side

Coated lightweight paper shifts to chapter 48 heading 4810 for surface-treated products.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify paper meets condenser-specific electrical insulation standards (e.g

low conductivity, high dielectric strength) with mill test certificates to avoid reclassification

Provide documentation proving weight ≤150 g/m² and uncoated status; common pitfall is misdeclaring as lightweight coated paper under 4810

Confirm not further worked (e.g

no impregnation); inspect for chapter note 3 compliance on processing limits
