Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If smaller sheets with neither side exceeding 360 mm or 150 mm
Sheet size criteria determine subheading; smaller formats fall under different size-based provisions.
If supplied as sensitized photographic paper
Sensitized with halides for photography, it enters Chapter 37 as consumer-ready photo paper.
If uncoated or differently coated
Uncoated or non-kaolin coated printing paper weighing ≤150 g/m² goes to heading 4802.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Document Mullen burst or basis weight to confirm ≤150 g/m²; mismatches lead to duty recalculation
• Label clearly as 'basic paper for sensitization' to distinguish from finished photo paper
• Beware reclassification if surface decoration (e.g
• heavy tinting) is deemed primary use per Chapter notes
