Bristol board (4802582040) is a heavyweight, calendered paperboard with a smooth surface used in illustration, technical drawing, and commercial printing. It is separately enumerated because its stiffness, surface finish, and end-use distinguish it from general writing paper and from drawing paper, even though all three fall within the over-150 g/m² weight band and the same mechanical-fiber limit.
Papers containing more than 25% cotton fiber by weight are separately classified under 4802586020, and the applicable duty rate may differ from standard wood-pulp-based heavyweight paper. Importers of premium stationery, security paper, or archival-grade stock should confirm fiber composition with mill documentation to ensure the correct line is declared.
