Overview
This HTS subcategory, 4802.56.70.50, specifically classifies writing and cover paper that meets a precise set of physical and compositional criteria. It encompasses uncoated paper and paperboard, not derived from mechanical or chemical pulping processes, or where such fibers constitute 10% or less of the total fiber weight. The paper must be supplied in sheets measuring no more than 435 mm on one side and 297 mm on the other in their unfolded state, and weigh between 40 g/m² and 150 g/m². This designation applies to paper intended for writing, printing, or other graphic applications.
The key differentiator for this "Other" category lies within its specific sheet dimensions and weight, combined with its fiber composition. It stands apart from sibling categories at the same level by its precise adherence to these physical parameters, differentiating it from other uncoated papers within the broader 4802.56.70 classification. The "Other" designation at this level suggests that the paper, while meeting the preceding criteria, does not fall into any more narrowly defined sub-classifications within this specific branch of the HTS.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this point relies on the definitive fulfillment of all the preceding criteria: uncoated, specific fiber content, weight range, and sheet dimensions, for paper used for writing, printing, or graphic purposes. Practical classification therefore hinges on careful measurement and verification of the paper's physical attributes and its intended end-use.
