Electrical Pressboard Insulation Sheet
Uncoated pressboard in sheets weighing 180 g/m², made from densely compressed wood fibers for high dielectric strength. Classified under HTS 4805.92.20.00 as pressboard, which is other uncoated paperboard >150 but <225 g/m², not further worked. Used primarily in transformers and electrical equipment for insulation.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If weighing 225 g/m² or more
Pressboard grammage exceeding 225 g/m² falls into the heavier weight subheading within the same 4805.92 group.
If surface-coated or impregnated
Coated or treated pressboard is classified as paperboard coated on one or both sides, moving out of uncoated heading 4805.
If cut to size and punched for specific machinery
Pressboard shaped or perforated for jacquard machines or similar becomes 'other paper articles' under 4823.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify grammage between 150-225 g/m² via lab testing to confirm subheading; exceeding limits shifts to other weights
• Provide mill test certificates showing fiber composition and density to prove pressboard status and avoid reclassification
• Ensure no coatings or further processing; common pitfall is misdeclaring laminated versions which go to 4811
