Photographic Resin Coated Base Paper A4
This is uncoated kaolin-coated paper in A4 sheets (210x297 mm), weighing 120 g/m², designed as the base stock to be sensitized with light-sensitive emulsions for black and white photographic printing. It meets the HTS 4810.14.11 criteria as basic paper for photographic sensitization, in sheets not exceeding 435x297 mm with one side over 360 mm and the other over 150 mm, and under 150 g/m² fiber content limits. The paper's smooth surface ensures even emulsion application without prior sensitization.

More Specific Codes
This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If sheets exceed 435 mm or 297 mm in unfolded state
Larger sheets for writing/printing graphic paper fall under the general subheading for bigger formats, outside the specific small-sheet provision.
If not coated with kaolin or inorganic substances
Uncoated paper for graphic purposes with similar fiber content and weight goes to Chapter 48 heading 4802, lacking the required inorganic coating.
If already sensitized with photographic emulsion
Once light-sensitive chemicals are applied, it becomes photographic paper of Chapter 37, no longer 'basic paper to be sensitized'.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify sheet dimensions exactly match unfolded state ≤435 mm x ≤297 mm with one side >360 mm and other >150 mm to avoid reclassification to larger sheet subheadings
• Provide mill certificates confirming ≤10% mechanical/chemi-mechanical fibers and weight ≤150 g/m², as these are strict for 4810.14 eligibility
