Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If mainly recovered pulp with Mullen ≥2 kPa·m²/g
Testliner from waste paper with burst index qualifies for 4805.24, not virgin chemical kraft.
If unbleached coated kraft
Lack of uniform bleaching moves to unbleached kraft paperboard coated subheading.
If transferred data already punched
Punched with actual data becomes 4908 transfers, not blank cards.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure CBP entry specifies 'not punched, for punchcard machines' to align with subheading description
• Test coating weight and type to confirm no organic binders dominating over inorganic
• Avoid bulk packing resembling rolls, as rectangular sheets/strips are key for this code
