Alternative Classifications

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

4805.93Lower: 10% vs 35%

If weighing 225 g/m² or more

Heavier pressboard variants shift to the >225 g/m² subheading in 4805.

8547.90.00Higher: 39.6% vs 35%

If for electrical industrial end-use with insulation function

If imported specifically as transformer parts, may classify under electrical machinery insulating materials.

4804.29.00.00Same rate: 35%

If made primarily from sulfate kraft fibers

Kraftliner-type pressboard with >=80% sulfate fibers meeting burst strength would go to sack kraft paper headings.

Import Tips & Compliance

Include dielectric strength test reports in documentation to support electrical insulation classification

Confirm roll width and core specifications comply with note 3 to chapter 48 for unworked status

Avoid declaring as 'laminated' if multi-layered during pressing; this could trigger 4823 classification
