Plastic-Coated Paper and Paperboard (Non-Adhesive, NESOI)

Plastic-coated paper and paperboard not covered by the bleached, over-150 g/m² category — including unbleached printing paper, lighter-weight folding-carton stock, and miscellaneous plastic-laminated substrates — falls under this residual heading. Canada and Germany lead US imports, with Mexico, Sweden, and the Netherlands also contributing, pointing to a supply base concentrated in North America and Western Europe. The US schedule includes a dedicated line for unbleached printing paper under 150 g/m² in wide-dimension format (4811592000) and separate lines for folding-carton stock (4811594020) and other roll-form goods (4811594040). Importers should verify that the plastic layer is not adhesive in function, which would redirect classification to the adhesive paper headings.
