4802.58.10.00 - Writing and cover paper 🖩

HTS code 4802.58.10.00 specifically classifies writing and cover paper that meets a precise set of physical and compositional criteria. This category applies to uncoated paper and paperboard, excluding those produced by purely mechanical or chemi-mechanical pulping processes, or where such fibers constitute no more than 10% of the total fiber weight. The paper must weigh more than 150 grams per square meter and be presented in strips or rolls exceeding 15 cm in width, or in rectangular (including square) sheets with dimensions greater than 36 cm on one side and 15 cm on the other when unfolded. This detailed dimensional requirement distinguishes it from papers presented in smaller formats or different shapes.

This classification is further defined by its presentation. It is distinct from potential sibling categories like "Other" (4802.58.20) by its specific dimensional and compositional attributes. The focus here is on heavier weight papers suitable for more robust applications like covers or heavier stationery, as opposed to lighter printing or writing grades that might fall under different subheadings. The exclusion of heavily mechanically pulped papers also ensures a distinction based on paper quality and intended use.

As a leaf node, HTS code 4802.58.10.00 does not have further subcategories within the HTS. Therefore, classification under this code hinges entirely on accurately meeting all the outlined criteria regarding paper type, fiber content, weight, and dimensions. Examples of goods that would fall here include heavyweight uncoated cardstock for book covers, durable drawing paper exceeding the specified weight and dimensions, or specialty uncoated paper used for high-quality stationery suites where substantial weight and texture are desired characteristics.
