Alternative Classifications

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

4804.11.00.00Same rate: 35%

If kraftliner grade

>=80% sulfate wood fibers, >115 g/m² with minimum Mullen burst strength qualifies as kraftliner.

8504.90Lower: 10% vs 35%

If imported as transformer parts set

Pressboard supplied with windings or cores as a set classifies under transformers heading 8504.
