Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If coated with kaolin or mineral fillers instead of plastics
Chapter 48 distinguishes plastic coatings (4811.4x) from clay/mineral coatings (4811.49), changing the subheading based on coating material.
If uncoated kraftliner meeting Mullen burst specs
Uncoated kraftliner paperboard falls under 4804.11 if it meets the 80% sulfate fiber and burst strength requirements, excluding any plastic covering.
If plastic predominates and paper is subsidiary
If plastic coating thickness makes it primarily a plastic article per GRI 2(b), it shifts to Chapter 39 plastics rather than coated paper.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify plastic coating type and weight via lab testing to confirm it excludes adhesives, avoiding reclassification to 4811.51
• Provide mill test certificates showing basis weight >115 g/m² and fiber composition to support kraftliner status if challenged
• Ensure roll width documentation exceeds 15 cm; common pitfall is mismeasuring unfolded dimensions leading to duty disputes
