Last updated: July 2026 dataGreaseproof paper achieves its oil and fat barrier through intensive mechanical beating of the pulp to a high degree of hydration — a process-defined characteristic that sets it apart from coated or laminated barrier papers and from acid-treated vegetable parchment. Classified entirely under 4806200000, this single-line heading is used extensively in food-service wrapping, bakery interleaving, and fast-food packaging. Mexico and Finland lead US import supply, reflecting both proximity-driven logistics from Mexico and the strong Nordic pulp-and-paper manufacturing base.

Because greaseproof paper achieves its barrier properties through pulp refining rather than surface coating or impregnation, importers should retain mill certificates or technical data sheets confirming the manufacturing process, Gurley porosity or grease-resistance test results, and a declaration that no surface coating or impregnating agent has been applied. This documentation is critical if CBP questions whether the product belongs in heading 4806 versus a coated-paper heading.
Greaseproof paper used in direct food contact is subject to FDA indirect food additive regulations. Importers should obtain supplier declarations confirming that the paper and any processing aids comply with applicable FDA regulations for food-contact paper, and retain those records for potential CBP or FDA review.
