Overview
HTS code 4802.56.60.00 specifically classifies basic paper designed for sensitization in photographic processes. This includes paper that is foundational for the application of light-sensitive coatings, forming the substrate upon which images are developed. The intended use in photography is a key determinant for this classification.
While this category exists within the broader context of uncoated paper and paperboard for writing, printing, and graphic purposes, and shares a parent with other papers weighing 40 g/m² or more but not more than 150 g/m² in specific sheet dimensions, its distinguishing feature is its inherent suitability for photographic sensitization. It is differentiated from the sibling category 4802.56.70, also under "Other," by this specific functional purpose. The sibling category would encompass other "other" papers meeting the weight and sheet size criteria but not intended for photographic applications.
As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification concludes at this level, focusing on the precise definition of paper intended for sensitization in photography within the specified weight and dimension parameters. Practical application would involve confirming the paper's physical characteristics and its role as a base material for photographic emulsions.
