4802.54.31.00 - Other 🖩

This HTS classification, 4802.54.31.00, covers "Other" uncoated paper and paperboard that meets specific weight and dimensional criteria. These papers are intended for writing, printing, or other graphic purposes and are not produced through predominantly mechanical or chemi-mechanical pulping processes. The key defining characteristics for this subcategory are that the paper weighs less than 40 g/m² and is presented in strips or rolls exceeding 15 cm in width, or in rectangular or square sheets where one dimension exceeds 36 cm and the other exceeds 15 cm when unfolded.

This classification distinguishes itself from its sibling categories by excluding papers explicitly designated as "Writing paper" (4802.54.10.00) or "India and bible paper" (4802.54.20.00). While all fall under the broader umbrella of uncoated paper for graphic purposes, the "Other" designation signifies that these products do not fit into the more specific uses or types identified by the sibling codes, despite sharing the same weight and dimensional parameters. It serves as a residual category for lightweight, uncoated papers meeting the specified size and format requirements that are not otherwise specifically classified.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification relies heavily on the exclusion of the sibling categories and the precise fulfillment of the physical characteristics outlined. Examples of goods that might fall under this category could include specialized lightweight papers used for certain types of commercial printing, labeling, or other graphic applications where the specific properties and formats do not align with the more narrowly defined writing or India/bible papers.
