4801.00.01.20 - Standard newsprint paper

This HTS classification covers standard newsprint paper, specifically identified as being in either rolls or sheets. Newsprint is characterized by its relatively low cost, high absorbency, and light weight, designed for high-volume printing of newspapers and other similar publications. Its intended use is for mass communication and information dissemination where high print quality is not the primary requirement.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 4801.00.01.40 "Other," is crucial. The "Standard newsprint paper" designation implies a specific set of quality and performance standards tailored for conventional newspaper printing. The "Other" category would encompass newsprint paper that does not meet these specific standards or is intended for slightly different applications within the broader newsprint category.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification structure, there are no further subdivisions under this specific code. Therefore, classification decisions at this level rely on a precise interpretation of what constitutes "standard newsprint paper" and how it differentiates from other newsprint products classified under the broader heading 4801.00.01.
