HS-4 · Heading

4808 — Paper and paperboard, corrugated (with or without glued flat surface sheets), creped, crinkled, embossed or perforated, in rolls or sheets other than paper of the kind described in heading 4803

Chapter 48: Paper and paperboard

Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 4808 when importing corrugated paper and paperboard, such as rolls of creped kraft paper used in packaging. This heading covers products that may be embossed, perforated, or crinkled, but not those classified under heading 4803.

When deciding between the subheadings, consider that HS-6 480810 is specifically for corrugated paper, while HS-6 480840 refers to kraft paper that is creped or crinkled. If your product is neither corrugated nor kraft, but still creped or crinkled, you would use HS-6 480890.

If your shipment includes corrugated sheets that are not perforated, you should classify it under HS-6 480810. However, if it has been creped or crinkled and is kraft paper, then HS-6 480840 is the right choice. The differences can affect duty rates and import regulations.
