Last updated: August 2026 dataBleached kraft paper and paperboard with over 95% chemical-process wood fiber content and a basis weight at or below 150 g/m² occupies a distinct classification niche driven by both fiber purity and grammage thresholds. The coating or surface treatment — whether clay-coated, lacquered, or otherwise finished — positions this grade primarily in premium packaging, label stock, and food-service applications where printability and barrier performance are critical. Importers should note that the 150 g/m² ceiling is a hard classification boundary; shipments near that threshold may require grammage certification to avoid reclassification into the heavier-weight heading.

Customs may request laboratory testing or mill certificates confirming basis weight. Importers should obtain grammage test reports from the manufacturer — typically per ISO 536 or TAPPI T410 — and retain them as part of the entry documentation to support the declared classification.
Coated grades have a surface application (clay, pigment, polymer, or similar) that improves smoothness, ink receptivity, or barrier properties. Uncoated bleached kraft of the same fiber content and weight range falls under a separate SITC heading, so the presence and nature of the coating is a key classification determinant.
