Chapter 48: Paper and paperboard

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 480525 when importing or exporting uncoated testliner paper, which is a type of recycled linerboard weighing over 150 grams per square meter. For example, a shipment of rolls of testliner paper used for packaging could fall under this code.

This code specifically covers uncoated paper and paperboard that is not further classified elsewhere, distinguishing it from lighter grades of linerboard or coated paper products. If your product is uncoated and exceeds the weight threshold, it likely belongs here.

In contrast, HS-6 480524 covers uncoated testliner paper weighing 150 grams per square meter or less, so be mindful of the weight when classifying your goods. Choosing the correct code ensures compliance and avoids potential customs issues.

When dealing with uncoated paper products, it's essential to accurately assess the weight and coating status. Misclassification can lead to delays or fines during customs clearance.
