Last updated: April 2026 dataPlastic-coated or plastic-impregnated paper and paperboard not captured by more specific weight or bleaching thresholds — including lighter-weight grades and unbleached substrates — serves a broad range of barrier-packaging, release-liner, and industrial laminating applications. Like its heavier counterpart (SITC 64171), this heading excludes adhesive-coated products, so the coating must function as a barrier or surface modifier rather than a bonding agent. Because this is a residual 'N.E.S.' heading, importers should systematically rule out more specific plastic-coated paper classifications before assigning goods here.

SITC 64171 is limited to bleached substrates weighing over 150 g/m², while SITC 64172 is the residual heading covering all other plastic-coated paper and paperboard — including lighter-weight grades and unbleached substrates. Basis weight and bleaching status are therefore the two classification pivots between these headings.
Certain coated paper and paperboard products have historically been subject to antidumping or countervailing duty orders in the US market. Importers should check the US International Trade Commission and Commerce Department databases for active orders covering the specific substrate, coating type, and country of origin before finalizing sourcing decisions.
