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.

Import Tips

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
