Overview
This HTS classification, 4802.62.61.40, encompasses "Other" paper and paperboard that meets specific criteria. It falls under uncoated paper and paperboard primarily used for writing, printing, or other graphic purposes. Crucially, this category includes paper where more than 10 percent of the fiber content is derived from mechanical or chemi-mechanical processes. The dimensions of the sheets are also a defining factor, requiring one side not to exceed 435 mm and the other not to exceed 297 mm in the unfolded state.
Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 4802.62.61.20, is key. While both are in sheets of specific dimensions and contain a significant portion of mechanically processed fibers, 4802.62.61.20 specifically covers paper containing 25 percent or more cotton fiber by weight. Therefore, 4802.62.61.40 is for those papers meeting the mechanical fiber and sheet dimension requirements but *do not* meet the 25 percent cotton fiber threshold.
As a leaf node, this classification represents the most granular level for these particular paper goods. It signifies the final destination for paper and paperboard that are uncoated, intended for graphic purposes, predominantly mechanically processed, fall within the specified sheet dimensions, and do not qualify for the cotton-inclusive sibling category. Examples might include certain types of newsprint, lightweight offset paper, or specialized printing papers that do not have a significant cotton content.
