Both are bleached clay-coated kraft paperboard under 150 g/m², but the US schedule assigns them to separate 10-digit lines: folding carton stock to 4810311020 and base stock for trays and similar items to 4810311040.

Yes — heading 481031 requires that more than 95% of the fiber content derive from chemical wood pulp processes (kraft or sulfite). Boards with a significant mechanical or recycled fiber component would not meet this threshold and would classify elsewhere. Mill fiber-composition certificates are the standard supporting document for verifying this criterion at entry.
