Overview

Heading 4802 encompasses a broad range of uncoated papers and paperboards specifically designed for writing, printing, and other graphic applications. This includes products like copier paper, notebook paper, and drawing paper. The heading also covers non-perforated punch cards and punch tape paper, irrespective of their dimensions, as long as they are presented in rolls or rectangular sheets. Crucially, this heading excludes paper and paperboard that fall under headings 4801 (newsprint) or 4803 (toilet paper, tissues).

Distinguishing heading 4802 from its siblings requires an understanding of the overall scope of Section X. While other chapters within Section X might cover raw pulp or waste paper (Chapter 47 and heading 4713 respectively), heading 4802 focuses on the finished paper and paperboard products. Its sibling categories at the chapter level (Chapter 48) will deal with different types of paper products, such as coated papers, carbon paper, or paperboard made into specific articles. The key differentiator for 4802 is its uncoated nature and its intended graphic or writing purpose.

Within heading 4802, the subcategories provide further refinement based on manufacturing processes and specific end-uses. Subcategory 4802.10.00.00 specifically addresses handmade paper and paperboard, differentiating it from machine-made equivalents. Other subdivisions differentiate between paperboard used as a base for photosensitive or heat-sensitive materials (4802.20) and wallpaper bases (4802.40.00.00). Further distinctions are made based on the proportion of fibers derived from mechanical or chemi-mechanical processes, highlighting the importance of fiber content in classification.
