Baryta Coated Photographic Base Paper RC
This is a baryta-coated paper in rolls, weighing under 150 g/m², designed as basic paper to be sensitized for analog photography prints. The baryta layer, typically barium sulfate on a resin-coated (RC) substrate, provides a smooth, reflective surface mimicking traditional darkroom paper. It falls under HTS 4810.13.11.20 due to its kaolin/inorganic coating, non-mechanical fiber content, and specific use in photographic sensitization.
Import Duty Rates by Country of Origin
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If containing >10% mechanical or chemi-mechanical fibers
Papers with higher mechanical fiber content shift to 4810.14, altering duty rates due to different pulp quality.
If pre-sensitized with photographic emulsion
Once sensitized (e.g., with silver halides), it becomes photographic paper under Chapter 37, not base paper.
If in sheets, not rolls
Cut-to-size sheets of similar specs fall under 4810.19, changing from roll-specific subheading.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify baryta coating certification and weight under 150 g/m² via lab tests to confirm HTS 4810.13.11.20 classification
• Provide mill test reports proving ≤10% mechanical fibers and photographic sensitization intent to avoid reclassification
