Overview
This HTS category, 4802.57.40.85, encompasses "Other" uncoated paper and paperboard that meets specific weight and fiber composition criteria, falling within the broader scope of uncoated paper for writing, printing, or graphic purposes. Specifically, it covers paper and paperboard weighing between 40 and 150 grams per square meter (g/m²), where not more than 10 percent of the total fiber content is derived from mechanical or chemi-mechanical processes. This implies that the majority of the fiber content is obtained through chemical pulping methods, contributing to its printing and writing qualities.
This classification is distinct from its sibling category, 4802.57.40.40, which is specifically defined by its exact dimensions in the unfolded state: one side measuring 965 mm and the other 635 mm. Category 4802.57.40.85, conversely, does not specify these precise sheet dimensions, indicating a broader range of sizes for papers and paperboards that otherwise meet the weight and fiber composition requirements. This "Other" designation serves as a residual category for eligible papers and paperboards that do not conform to any more specific dimensional or descriptive subheadings at this level.
As a leaf node, this HTS category does not have further subcategories. Therefore, classification into 4802.57.40.85 relies on satisfying all the preceding criteria: being uncoated paper or paperboard for graphic purposes, not from headings 4801 or 4803, not being hand-made, and importantly, weighing between 40 and 150 g/m² with a low proportion of mechanically or chemi-mechanically derived fibers.
