Last updated: April 2026 dataBroader in scope than the kraft-specific headings, this NES category covers coated, impregnated, surface-colored, or surface-decorated paper and paperboard of any fiber composition that is not captured by a more specific heading — including non-kraft substrates such as mechanical-pulp or recycled-fiber boards with functional coatings. It serves as a catch-all for specialty grades used across graphic arts, industrial, and packaging applications. Because classification here is reached by elimination, importers should document why the product does not qualify under a more specific heading, particularly when the substrate composition is mixed or proprietary.

When fiber composition is not fully disclosed, importers should request a mill certificate or independent laboratory analysis confirming pulp type and percentage. Without that data, CBP may challenge the classification, and the product could be reclassified into a more specific heading if the fiber content later proves to meet a stricter criterion.
Yes, provided it does not meet the criteria of a more specific heading (such as the over-95% chemical wood fiber kraft headings). Recycled or mixed-fiber coated boards that lack a more precise classification home are properly placed in this NES heading.
