Last updated: July 2026 dataClay-coated printing and writing paper in roll form — the workhorse substrate for commercial offset, publication, and graphic-arts printing — is classified here when mechanical fiber content does not exceed 10% by weight. The US tariff schedule subdivides this heading across thirteen 10-digit lines, distinguishing baryta-coated photographic base paper (4810131120), India/Bible paper (4810131300), cotton-fiber-rich grades (4810137020), and single- versus double-sided coated stocks above and below 150 g/m². Finland and Germany are the dominant suppliers, reflecting Scandinavia's and Central Europe's deep integration into global coated-paper supply chains, with Austria and South Korea also significant sources.

The schedule separates coated rolls by basis weight and coating configuration: lines 4810132010 and 4810132090 cover stocks over 150 g/m², with 4810132010 applying to one-sided coated grades and 4810132090 to two-sided coated grades. Lighter stocks under 150 g/m² are further split by end-use specialty (photographic base, India/Bible paper, general writing/printing) across the other lines in this heading.
Baryta-coated paper (4810131120) and clay-coated photographic base paper (4810131140) are specifically carved out from general writing/printing grades. Importers must confirm whether the substrate is destined for photographic sensitization — if so, the correct line differs from general graphic-arts coated paper, and misclassification can affect applicable duty rates. Consulting a licensed customs broker is advisable when the coating type or end-use is ambiguous.
