Unbleached Kraft Packaging Paper
This uncoated paper, weighing 120 g/m², is made primarily from unbleached wood fibers and supplied in rolls for packaging applications. It falls under HTS 4805.91.90.00 as other uncoated paper and paperboard weighing over 30 g/m² but 150 g/m² or less, not further worked beyond note 3 specifications. Lacks the high Mullen bursting strength required for sack kraft classification.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If meets sack kraft specifications
Sack kraft requires 80% sulfate fibers, 60-115 g/m², specific Mullen burst index and stretch factors.
If mainly from recovered waste paper
Paper made wholly/mainly from recycled pulp with Mullen burst index ≥2 kPa·m²/g falls in 4805.24/25.
If weighing under 30 g/m²
Uncoated paper ≤30 g/m² shifts to 4802 heading regardless of other specifications.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify basis weight documentation (over 30 g/m² but ≤150 g/m²) as it determines subheading placement
• Provide mill test certificates confirming uncoated status and lack of further processing per note 3
• Avoid misclassification as sack kraft (4804.21) by confirming it doesn't meet Mullen burst index specs
