CHAPTER

48 — Paper and paperboard; articles of paper pulp, of paper or of paperboard

In plain English

This category covers uncoated kraft paper and paperboard sold in rolls or sheets, excluding items classified under other specific paper headings. The goods are divided into groups based on whether they are unbleached or bleached, and further separated by their intended use as general kraftliner or sack kraft paper. Additional distinctions are made according to the weight of the material per square meter, with specific rules for lighter sheets versus heavier ones. For heavier weights, some subcategories also require the material to be uniformly bleached and composed primarily of chemically processed wood fibers.
