Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If faced with materials other than paper, like fiberglass
Boards reinforced or faced with non-paper materials shift to the general 'other' subheading in 6809.19.
If containing asbestos or sold for industrial fireproofing
Asbestos-containing plaster articles or specialized fire-resistant panels classify under Chapter 68 heading 6811.
If in the form of tiles or blocks rather than sheets
Plaster tiles and blocks, even paper-faced, fall under heading 6810 for shaped articles, not boards or panels.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify paper facing meets 'paper or paperboard only' specs; any fiberglass or foil disqualifies from this code
• Provide mill test reports certifying gypsum plaster composition to avoid reclassification as generic panels
