Overview

This HTS category specifically covers high-grade deinking paper and paperboard. These are materials that have undergone a deinking process to remove ink, making them suitable for recycling into new paper products. The classification emphasizes a higher quality resulting from this processing, distinguishing it from general waste paper.

The primary distinction from its sibling category, 4707.20.00.40 (Other), lies in the specific nature of the material. While the "Other" category encompasses a broader range of recovered paper and paperboard not fitting into more specific descriptions, this node is reserved for the refined material resulting from the deinking of paper and paperboard, often characterized by a cleaner appearance and suitability for higher-value recycled content.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification under 4707.20.00.20 is therefore definitive, requiring the material to meet the criteria of being recovered paper or paperboard, primarily made from bleached chemical pulp, not colored in the mass, and having undergone a deinking process to achieve a high-grade quality for recycling.
