Last updated: August 2026 dataTestliner made from recycled fiber — a key input for corrugated box manufacturing — is classified here when its basis weight does not exceed 150 g/m² and it has not been further processed beyond the state described in Chapter 48, Note 3. This grade of recycled liner board competes directly with virgin kraftliner in the packaging supply chain, and its classification as 'recycled' requires documentation of recovered-fiber content. Importers supplying containerboard mills or sheet-plant converters should confirm that the product has not undergone surface coating or other finishing that would move it to a different paper or paperboard heading.

Testliner is specifically defined as recycled liner board — made predominantly from recovered paper — as opposed to virgin kraftliner. The recycled-fiber composition and the basis-weight ceiling (not over 150 g/m²) are the two criteria that place a product in this line rather than in adjacent liner board or kraft paper headings.
Yes. Chapter 48, Note 3 defines the maximum state of processing permitted for products in this heading. Surface coating, impregnation, or other finishing operations beyond that note's scope would reclassify the product into a coated or treated paper heading, likely with different duty treatment.
