4802.61.20.00 - Drawing paper

This HTS classification covers drawing paper, specifically in rolls and exceeding 15 cm in width. This category is dedicated to paper primarily intended for artistic and technical drawing applications. The paper within this classification will typically exhibit characteristics suitable for receiving graphite, charcoal, ink, or other drawing media, often with a specific surface texture and weight designed to prevent bleed-through and allow for erasability.

Drawing paper is distinguished from its sibling category, 4802.61.10.00 (Writing and cover paper), by its intended end-use. While both are uncoated papers for graphic purposes, writing and cover papers are generally designed for mass printing or everyday writing tasks and may not possess the specialized surface properties required for detailed artistic or technical rendering. This category focuses on paper where the precise reception and manipulation of drawing instruments are paramount.

As a leaf node, HTS code 4802.61.20.00 does not have further subcategories. Therefore, classification within this code hinges on meeting all preceding criteria: being uncoated paper and paperboard of a kind used for graphic purposes, having more than 10% by weight of fibers obtained by a mechanical or chemi-mechanical process, in rolls, and with a width exceeding 15 cm, and specifically being drawing paper.
