About Duty Rates: Rates are divided into Column 1 and Column 2. Column 1 is subdivided into General (normal trade relations rates for all countries not eligible for special programs) and Special (preferential rates for countries with free trade agreements or preference programs). Column 2 rates apply to products from Cuba, North Korea, Belarus, and Russia. When no special rate exists for a classification, General rates apply.

Overview

This HTS classification covers recovered paper and paperboard that are primarily manufactured from bleached chemical pulp. Crucially, these materials must not be colored throughout the mass, meaning the color is not an inherent part of the pulp itself. This category captures a broad range of such recovered paper and paperboard that do not fit into more specific sub-classifications within the "Other" designation.

This category, 4707.20.00.40, distinguishes itself from its sibling, 4707.20.00.20, which specifically addresses "High-grade deinking paper and paperboard." While both fall under the broader umbrella of recovered paper made mainly from bleached chemical pulp, this "Other" category encompasses recovered materials that may not meet the stringent quality or processing requirements of high-grade deinking paper. For instance, it would include recovered paper products with minor imperfections or those not specifically processed for efficient deinking.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification into this code relies on confirming that the recovered paper or paperboard is made predominantly from bleached chemical pulp, is not colored in the mass, and does not qualify for any more specific description within the recovered paper and paperboard chapter. Examples might include certain types of unprinted, unstained cardstock or plain paperboard that has undergone a recycling process.
