Hole-Punched Light-Weight Coated Notebook Refill Paper
This is pre-printed light-weight coated paper (under 72 g/m²) with subtle lines and margins, featuring three-hole punches for standard binders, containing over 10% mechanical fibers. It falls under HTS 4810.22.50.44 due to its kaolin coating on both sides, hole-punched perforation, and designation as printed looseleaf paper for writing purposes. The lightweight nature and mechanical fiber content distinguish it from heavier or fully chemical pulp papers.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If no printing, embossing, or perforation
Unprinted, non-perforated writing/printing paper with mechanical fibers falls under 4810.14, excluding hole-punched looseleaf.
If cut to size as loose sheets or cards, not in rolls
Chapter note excludes loose sheets cut to size from heading 4820; this applies if processed beyond rolls/sheets into cards.
If uncoated
Newsprint-type uncoated paper with >10% mechanical fibers uses 4802.56; coating with kaolin shifts to Chapter 48 heading 4810.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify coating weight (<15 g/m² per side) and total basis weight (<72 g/m²) with lab tests to confirm light-weight coated classification
• Provide mill test certificates proving >10% mechanical/chemi-mechanical fibers and hole-punched features for CBP review
• Avoid misclassification as unperforated by documenting punched holes; common pitfall is declaring as plain copy paper
