Overview
This HTS subcategory, 4802.56.10.00, specifically covers writing and cover paper that meets precise dimensional and weight criteria. The paper must be uncoated and intended for writing, printing, or other graphic applications, excluding paper from headings 4801 or 4803, and handmade paper. Crucially, for this classification, the paper must weigh between 40 and 150 grams per square meter. Furthermore, it must be in sheets where one side measures more than 360 mm and the other side exceeds 150 mm in the unfolded state.
This designation distinguishes it from its sibling categories. For instance, "Drawing paper" (4802.56.20.00) would typically have specific surface textures and weight properties suited for artistic rendering. Similarly, "India and bible paper" (4802.56.30.00) is characterized by its thinness, opacity, and high bulk relative to its weight, making it ideal for books where page count is important. The remaining "Other" category (4802.56.40.00) would encompass uncoated papers meeting the general criteria but not fitting into the more specific definitions of writing, cover, drawing, or India/bible paper within this sub-division.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 4802.56.10.00. Classification within this code relies heavily on the precise fulfillment of the dimensional specifications (one side exceeding 360 mm and the other exceeding 150 mm in the unfolded state) and the weight range (40-150 g/m²) for uncoated paper intended for writing and cover applications.
