4801.00.01.40 - Other 🖩

This HTS category, 4801.00.01.40, specifically covers "Other" newsprint paper that does not fall under the "Standard newsprint paper" classification (4801.00.01.20). It is intended for newsprint in rolls or sheets that possess characteristics or intended uses not fully captured by the standard definition, often implying variations in weight, brightness, or finish that differentiate it from the more common grade.

The distinction between this "Other" category and its sibling, "Standard newsprint paper," hinges on specific technical specifications or intended applications. While standard newsprint is generally characterized by its high-volume production for daily newspapers, often with a specific weight (grams per square meter) and opacity, this residual category accounts for newsprint that may deviate from these benchmarks but still fits the general definition of newsprint. This could include paper with slightly different GSM, a unique surface treatment, or a specialized application within the newsprint spectrum.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions within this HTS classification. Therefore, classification within 4801.00.01.40 relies on a thorough examination of the product's physical attributes and its intended use to ensure it is indeed newsprint and does not meet the criteria for any other HTS code. The absence of subcategories underscores the need for precise application of the defining characteristics of newsprint when encountering goods that are not clearly "standard."
