Last updated: July 2026 dataThe mid-weight band of 40–150 g/m² covers the broadest commercial range of uncoated printing and writing papers, including drawing paper (4802552000), India/Bible paper in rolls (4802553000), cotton-content writing paper (4802557020), and graphic-arts grades (4802557040). Canada is the dominant supplier, with Indonesia and the Netherlands also significant sources. The cotton-fiber subheading (4802557020) — covering paper containing at least 25% cotton by weight — is a notable classification nuance, as cotton-content papers used for currency, security documents, and premium stationery follow a distinct supply chain from standard wood-pulp grades.

Papers containing 25% or more cotton fiber by weight are separately enumerated (4802557020) because cotton-furnish papers have distinct physical properties — durability, feel, and resistance to aging — that make them suitable for banknotes, legal documents, and premium stationery. This distinction affects both classification and the applicable duty rate, so accurate fiber composition documentation from the mill is essential.
Importers should obtain mill certificates confirming basis weight (g/m²), fiber composition (mechanical vs. chemical pulp percentages), and roll width. These support correct 10-digit HTS classification, particularly distinguishing rolls wider than 15 cm from narrower formats, and separating graphic-arts grades from writing/cover grades.
