Overview
This HTS category, 4802.57.10.85, encompasses "Other" paper and paperboard that meets specific weight and composition criteria. It falls under uncoated paper and paperboard used for writing, printing, or other graphic purposes, excluding newsprint (4801) and tissue paper (4803). Crucially, this classification applies to paper and paperboard that does not contain fibers derived from mechanical or chemi-mechanical processes, or where such fibers constitute no more than 10 percent of the total fiber content by weight. The paper must weigh between 40 and 150 grams per square meter, and it is specifically designated for writing and cover paper applications.
This category is distinguished from its sibling, 4802.57.10.40, by the absence of a specific dimensional requirement. While the sibling category is defined by precise dimensions (one side equal to 965 mm and the other side equal to 635 mm in the unfolded state), this "Other" category covers writing and cover paper within the specified weight range that does not conform to those exact dimensions.
As a leaf node, this category does not have further subcategories. Therefore, its classification relies on a comprehensive assessment of its physical characteristics, particularly its weight and fiber composition, along with its intended end-use as writing or cover paper, and ensuring it does not meet the specific dimensional criteria of its sibling.
