Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If kraftliner grade with ≥80% sulfate wood fibers and Mullen strength >393 kPa at 115 g/m²
High-strength kraft paper for sacks/liners uses kraft-specific subheadings, not graphic photo base.
If lightweight coated ≤72 g/m² with mechanical fibers ≥50% on base
Light-weight coated paper with mechanical pulp emphasis goes to 4810.22, differing from low-fiber photo stock.
If loose exercise books or pads of this paper
Assembled into pads or books, it becomes registers/exercise books under 4820, not loose basic paper.
