4802.61.31.91 - Other 🖩

This HTS classification, 4802.61.31.91, encompasses "Other" uncoated paper and paperboard falling within the broader category of papers used for writing, printing, or other graphic purposes. Specifically, these are papers in rolls, exceeding 15 cm in width, where more than 10 percent of the fiber content is derived from mechanical or chemi-mechanical pulping processes. This designation applies to papers that do not fit into more specific sub-classifications within the 4802.61.31 range.

The key differentiator for this "Other" category is its residual nature within the 4802.61.31.91 code. While its sibling category, 4802.61.31.35, specifically covers "Supercalendered" papers (a treatment process involving high-pressure rollers to achieve a smooth, glossy finish), this classification applies to all other papers within this group that are not supercalendered but still meet the general criteria of being uncoated, in rolls, of sufficient width, and with a significant mechanical pulp content.

As a leaf node in the HTS classification system, 4802.61.31.91 has no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classification here relies on the precise application of the preceding descriptive elements. Importers and exporters should ensure that the paper in question is indeed uncoated, intended for graphic purposes, presented in rolls exceeding 15 cm in width, and that its fiber composition meets the mechanical/chemi-mechanical threshold, while also confirming it does not possess the specific characteristics of any other listed sub-codes at this level.
