4802.61.60 - Other

This HTS category, 4802.61.60, encompasses "Other" uncoated paper and paperboard in rolls, characterized by a mechanical or chemi-mechanical fiber content exceeding 10 percent by weight. These papers are intended for general writing, printing, or graphic purposes, and exclude specialized photographic base papers. The classification hinges on the paper being supplied in rolls and not falling under specific pre-defined uses.

Distinguishing this subcategory from its sibling, 4802.61.50.00, is crucial. The sibling specifically covers "Basic paper to be sensitized for use in photography," indicating a distinct end-use and potentially different manufacturing processes or specifications tailored for photographic applications. In contrast, 4802.61.60.00 is for a broader range of general-purpose papers and paperboards.

Within this category, two subcategories exist to further refine the classification. 4802.61.60.20 addresses papers containing 25 percent or more cotton fiber by weight, indicating a specific material composition requirement. The remaining papers, not meeting this cotton fiber threshold, are classified under 4802.61.60.40, "Other." This differentiation allows for granular tracking of papers based on their fiber makeup, which can be relevant for trade statistics and potential duty considerations.
