Importers of Uncoated Paper & Paperboard, Over 10% Mechanical Fiber, Other (NESOI) paid $58K in duties in June 2026 — an effective duty rate of 13% on $457K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Uncoated Paper & Paperboard, Over 10% Mechanical Fiber, Other (NESOI) imports of $508K in June 2026 ran 52% below the year-to-date monthly average of $1.1M.
Residual uncoated mechanical-fiber papers and paperboards that do not fit the roll, standard-sheet, or dimensional criteria of the preceding subheadings are captured here across three lines: writing and cover paper (4802691000), drawing paper (4802692000), and a general NESOI catch-all (4802693000). Indonesia and Spain lead US supply under this heading, with France, Mexico, and India also contributing. The NESOI structure means classification here should be a last resort after confirming the goods do not meet the specific dimensional, weight, or format criteria of 480261, 480262, or the 480254–480258 series.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Formats such as fanfold paper, continuous forms, or non-standard cut sizes that do not qualify as rolls (480261) or as sheets within the 435×297 mm dimensional limit (480262) often fall into 480269. Specialty packaging blanks and industrial paperboard cut to irregular shapes are other examples. Importers should work through the dimensional and format criteria of the preceding subheadings before defaulting to this NESOI line.
The broker should obtain the exact unfolded sheet dimensions from the manufacturer and compare them against the 435×297 mm threshold in 480262. If any sheet dimension exceeds those limits, the goods belong in 480269 (or another applicable NESOI line). Retaining the mill's cut-size specification sheet as part of the entry documentation supports the classification decision in the event of a CBP inquiry.
