4802.58.20 - Other

This HTS category, 4802.58.20, encompasses "Other" uncoated paper and paperboard that meets specific physical and compositional criteria. It falls under the broader heading for paper and paperboard not containing a significant proportion of mechanically or chemi-mechanically derived fibers. Specifically, these papers and paperboards weigh more than 150 g/m² and are presented in either strips or rolls exceeding 15 cm in width, or in rectangular sheets where both dimensions exceed 15 cm and one dimension exceeds 36 cm. This classification is distinct from its sibling, 4802.58.10, which is designated for writing and cover papers, suggesting a focus on papers not primarily intended for those specific graphic purposes.

The subcategories within 4802.58.20 further refine the classification based on the intended use or specific type of paper. These include subdivisions for drawing paper, which is typically designed to accept various drawing media, and bristols, a type of heavy, smooth cardstock often used for illustrations or card manufacturing. The existence of a further "Other" subcategory within this level (4802.58.20.80) indicates that there are indeed other types of uncoated paper and paperboard that fit the general criteria of this category but do not fall into the more specific drawing paper or bristol classifications.
