4802.61 - In rolls:

This HTS category, 4802.61, specifically covers uncoated paper and paperboard classified under heading 4802, where the material is supplied in rolls. This includes paper and paperboard intended for writing, printing, or other graphic applications, excluding newsprint (4801) and tissue paper (4803). The defining characteristic for inclusion in this code is its presentation in a continuous roll format, irrespective of its width or length.

Category 4802.61 is distinguished from its sibling categories by the physical form of the paper or paperboard. While 4802.62 addresses sheets with specific dimensional constraints (one side not exceeding 435 mm and the other not exceeding 297 mm), and 4802.69 encompasses all other presentations within this sub-heading, 4802.61 is exclusively for materials supplied in rolls. This distinction is critical for customs purposes, as the roll format impacts handling, processing, and often end-use applications.

The subcategories within 4802.61 further refine the classification based on the width of the rolls. Rolls with a width exceeding 15 cm are classified under one subcategory, while all other rolls, meaning those with a width of 15 cm or less, fall into a separate "Other" subcategory. This granular division allows for more precise tracking and statistical analysis of various paper and paperboard products based on their specific dimensions in roll form.
