Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If in rolls, 60-115 g/m² with sack kraft tensile/tear specs
Meets strict subheading note for sack kraft paper used in bag production, shifting from general creped kraft.
If for heavier linerboard rolls >115 g/m² with high Mullen burst
Qualifies as kraftliner if machine-finished with minimum bursting strength per table, not emphasizing creping.
If cut to size/perforated sheets for retail sale, not rolls
Chapter note excludes loose cut sheets from 4820 but allows 4823 for other processed paper articles like lace or cards.
