Last updated: April 2026 dataCreped and crinkled kraft paper — produced by compressing or creping the web during manufacture — delivers superior stretch, cushioning, and conformability compared to flat kraft, making it a preferred material for protective packaging, medical wrapping, and masking-tape backings. The 'N.E.S.' qualifier means this heading excludes kraft paper captured under more specific SITC lines, so importers must confirm the paper's pulp composition and surface treatment before classification. Embossing or perforation does not remove goods from this heading provided the base substrate remains kraft.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
No — the heading explicitly covers creped or crinkled kraft paper 'whether or not embossed or perforated,' so additional surface treatments such as embossing or perforation do not displace goods from this classification, provided the base material qualifies as kraft paper.
Kraft paper is defined by its production via the sulfate (kraft) pulping process, which yields a high-strength, typically brown or bleached sheet. Customs authorities may request mill certificates or pulp-process documentation to confirm kraft designation when the paper has been bleached or otherwise processed to resemble other grades.
