Last updated: April 2026 dataCigarette paper formatted as booklets or tubes is a specialized thin-paper product engineered for controlled burn rate, porosity, and tensile strength — characteristics that distinguish it from roll-form cigarette paper. Indonesia leads US import supply for this format, followed by Spain and France, reflecting the concentration of specialty paper manufacturing in Southeast Asia and Western Europe. Importers should note that this product enters under a single 10-digit line (4813100000) and may be subject to state-level tobacco-related regulations in addition to federal customs requirements.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
The HTS distinguishes by physical presentation: booklets and tubes fall under heading 481310, while rolls not exceeding 5 cm width are classified under 481320. The key classification factor is the finished format at time of importation, not the paper's underlying specifications.
Cigarette paper itself is not a tobacco product regulated by FDA's Center for Tobacco Products, so it does not trigger the same premarket review as cigarettes. However, importers should verify whether the product is marketed in a way that could attract FDA scrutiny, and should consult a licensed customs broker for current admissibility guidance.
