Product description
It consists of two 6–mm-wide strips of adhesive-coated, mylar-covered paperboard (pressboard) mounted parallel to each other, about 1 mm apart, on a plastic profile known as a “locator.” The latter will serve to facilitate placing the product on machinery used to produce a crease in paper or paperboard during the manufacture of boxes or other articles that require creasing. In the creasing procedure, the two pressboard strips and the gap (“crease channel”) between them will act as a matrix. That is, the paperboard to be creased will be placed over the matrix, and then the machine’s creasing blade will depress it into the gap to create the crease. The creasing strips will be imported in lengths of about one meter, and will be cut to desired shorter lengths following importation.
CBP rationale
The applicable subheading for the “CITO Creasing Strips” will be 4823.90.6500, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other (non-enumerated) articles of coated paper or paperboard.
