Last updated: August 2026 dataBleached, uncoated kraft paper and paperboard in the 150–225 g/m² range that does not meet the 95% chemical wood fiber threshold of heading 480442 falls here, covering boards with recycled content, mixed fiber furnishes, or mechanical pulp blends at the same basis weight. Mexico leads US imports under this heading, with China and Malaysia also significant sources — a supplier profile that differs markedly from the virgin-fiber SBS grades in 480442 and reflects the broader geographic base for recycled and mixed-fiber board production. The heading resolves to a single 10-digit line, 4804490000. Importers should be aware that goods from China may be subject to Section 301 tariffs, and should verify fiber composition documentation to confirm the product does not qualify for the higher-purity 480442 heading.

The dividing line is fiber composition: 480442 requires more than 95% of the fiber weight to come from chemical wood pulp processes, while 480449 covers all other bleached uncoated kraft paperboard in the same weight range. A mill certificate or technical data sheet specifying the pulp furnish — including any recycled, mechanical, or non-wood fiber content — is the primary evidence. If the certificate confirms the 95% chemical fiber threshold is not met, 480449 is correct.
Imports from China classified under 4804490000 may be subject to Section 301 tariffs. Importers sourcing from China should confirm the current applicability of Section 301 measures to this specific tariff line with a licensed customs broker before shipment. Goods from Mexico may benefit from USMCA preferential treatment if origin requirements are satisfied.
