Last updated: August 2026 dataComposite paper and paperboard under this heading is defined by its construction method: flat layers of paper or paperboard bonded together with an adhesive, as opposed to multi-ply board formed wet on the paper machine. Five 10-digit lines capture distinct constructions including bitumen/tar/asphalt-laminated board (4807001000), straw board covered with non-straw paper (4807009100), cloth-lined or reinforced paper (4807009200), and two NESOI lines for other composite grades. The Netherlands and Canada are the leading US import sources. The adhesive-lamination requirement is the critical classification boundary — products laminated with bitumen serve waterproofing and roofing applications, while cloth-lined grades serve industrial and packaging uses.

Heading 4807 applies only to board made by bonding pre-formed flat layers with an adhesive after the papermaking process. Multi-ply board formed by joining wet plies on the paper machine — such as wet machine board — does not qualify as composite under this heading and classifies elsewhere in chapter 48. The manufacturing process, not the number of plies, is the controlling classification criterion.
Bitumen-laminated board is an industrial product and does not trigger food, drug, or agricultural admissibility review. However, importers should be aware that roofing and waterproofing materials may be subject to state or local building-code standards that affect downstream use, and should verify that the product's bitumen content and construction meet applicable specifications for the intended end use.
