Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 481019 when importing or exporting coated paper and paperboard designed for printing and writing. This includes products like large sheets of paper coated with kaolin, ideal for high-quality graphics and publications.
This code specifically covers paper and paperboard that is coated with kaolin or other inorganic substances, primarily used for printing and writing. Unlike HS-6 481020, which includes similar products but with a different coating composition, this line focuses on those with 10% or less mechanical fibers.

When shipping items like large-format printing paper or sheets for professional graphic applications, ensure they are properly described on invoices to avoid customs delays.
