Last updated: July 2026 dataBleached paper and paperboard coated or impregnated with plastics — but not with adhesives — and weighing more than 150 g/m² represents a heavyweight, high-brightness substrate used in premium packaging, liquid-packaging board, and laminated carton applications. The 150 g/m² weight threshold is a hard classification boundary that separates this heading from lighter plastic-coated grades. The absence of an adhesive layer is equally important: pressure-sensitive or self-adhesive coated boards are classified elsewhere, and misidentifying the coating type is a common source of classification disputes.

SITC 64171 applies only to plastic-coated bleached paper and paperboard exceeding 150 g/m². Material at or below that weight falls under SITC 64172 (the NES plastic-coated category). Because duty rates can differ between these headings, accurate basis-weight certification from the mill — expressed in grams per square meter — is essential documentation for every shipment.
Plastic coatings in this heading are applied as a barrier or functional layer (e.g., polyethylene extrusion coating for moisture resistance) without adhesive properties. Self-adhesive or pressure-sensitive coated boards are classified under separate headings. Importers should obtain a technical data sheet from the manufacturer specifying the coating chemistry and confirming the absence of adhesive functionality.
