Last updated: April 2026 dataBleached, uncoated kraft paper and paperboard at or below 150 g/m² serves a broad spectrum of end uses, with the US schedule reflecting that diversity across eight 10-digit tariff lines. Dedicated lines cover bleached condenser paper (4804392000), bag and sack paper (4804394020), wrapping paper including a tissue-weight line at or below 29 g/m² (4804394041 and 4804394049), base stock for trays and cups (4804396020), and general kraft paper/paperboard categories (4804396040 and 4804397000). Canada is the primary supplier, with Germany, Sweden, and Japan also significant sources. The breadth of end uses — from food-service tray stock to electrical insulation — means that basis weight documentation and end-use declarations are critical to landing on the correct 10-digit line.

Line 4804394041 is specifically limited to bleached kraft wrapping tissue weighing 29 g/m² or less, presented in sheets. Paper above that basis weight, or in roll form, would fall to 4804394049 or another applicable line. Importers should confirm both the basis weight and the form of presentation (sheets vs. rolls) on the commercial invoice and packing list to avoid misclassification.
Base stock for trays and cups is manufactured to food-service performance specifications — including grease resistance, forming characteristics, and sometimes FDA-compliant coatings applied downstream — that distinguish it from general-purpose kraft paperboard. Classification on 4804396020 is supported by mill documentation or purchase specifications identifying the substrate as tray/cup base stock. General-purpose bleached kraft paperboard at the same weight would classify on 4804396040 or 4804397000.
