Last updated: April 2026 dataSheet-format mechanical-fiber papers sized at or below 435 mm × 297 mm in the unfolded state — roughly A3 and smaller — are classified here, covering writing and cover paper (4802621000), drawing paper (4802622000), and graphic-arts grades (4802626140). Canada leads US imports, with India and France also notable sources.

AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Sheets exceeding 435 mm on one side or 297 mm on the other in the unfolded state fall outside 480262 and must be classified under the appropriate NESOI sheet subheading in 480257 or 480256, depending on fiber content and weight. Even a few millimeters of oversize can shift the classification, so importers should confirm exact cut dimensions with the mill before filing entry.
India is a notable supplier under this heading, generally exporting writing and cover paper grades produced from agro-based or mixed mechanical-chemical pulp. Indian mills have expanded cut-sheet capacity for export, and their product mix often targets the writing and office-paper segment rather than premium graphic-arts grades.
