Last updated: August 2026 dataUncoated paper and paperboard in the 150–225 g/m² weight band occupies a commercially important middle tier between lightweight printing papers and heavy board grades, serving packaging, construction, and industrial converting applications. The US tariff schedule breaks this heading into six 10-digit lines covering pressboard ex-kraft (4805922000), folding carton board (4805924010), construction paper (4805924020), linerboard with less than 80% chemical sulfate pulp (4805924030), and two residual NESOI lines (4805924040 and 4805924055). Canada dominates US import supply for this heading, with Austria, Italy, and India also among the leading sources. Importers should note that specific grades — particularly linerboard and folding carton board — may be subject to antidumping or countervailing duty orders depending on origin and pulp composition.

The two residual NESOI lines — 4805924040 and 4805924055 — capture uncoated paper and paperboard ex-kraft that does not meet the specific descriptions for pressboard, folding carton board, construction paper, or linerboard. Classification between them turns on whether the product falls under a specific chapter note or statistical provision, so importers should review the applicable HTS chapter notes carefully and consult a licensed customs broker when the grade is ambiguous.
Certain uncoated paperboard grades — particularly linerboard and folding carton board — have historically been subject to antidumping or countervailing duty investigations depending on country of origin. Importers should check the US International Trade Commission and Commerce Department databases for active orders before finalizing sourcing decisions.
