U.S. imports of clay-coated multi-ply paper and paperboard (non-kraft, non-graphic), rolls or sheets (HS 481092) totaled $56.6M in July 2026, traded with 24 countries.
Importers of Clay-Coated Multi-Ply Paper and Paperboard (Non-Kraft, Non-Graphic), Rolls or Sheets paid $4.5M in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 10% on $44.2M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: July 2026 dataMulti-ply construction distinguishes this clay-coated stock from single-ply graphic or kraft grades, making it a preferred substrate for folding cartons, food-service packaging, and liquid-contact board applications. The US tariff schedule subdivides the heading by basis weight — above or below 150 g/m² — and by form (rolls vs. sheets), with specific lines for wide-dimension formats and punch-card stock. Canada leads supply, followed by Sweden and Finland, reflecting the integrated North American and Nordic pulp-and-board industries that dominate this segment. Importers should confirm whether the specific ply construction and coating weight map to the correct 10-digit line, as misclassification between the weight-based subheadings is a common audit finding.

The US schedule splits clay-coated multi-ply stock into lines covering paper and board weighing more than 150 g/m² (4810921225 for rolls, 4810921235 for sheets) and those weighing less than 150 g/m² (4810921425 for rolls, 4810921435 for sheets). Importers must verify the actual grammage on the mill certificate before filing entry, as the weight threshold determines the applicable tariff line.
The key is demonstrating that the substrate is neither kraft (unbleached or semi-bleached sulfate pulp) nor graphic-grade (intended for printing and writing). Mill test certificates showing fiber composition, coating type, and intended end-use — such as packaging or food-service board — support classification here rather than under the kraft or graphic paper headings.
