4802.69 - Other:

HTS code 4802.69 covers "Other" paper and paperboard that meets the criteria of heading 4802 and where more than 10 percent of the fiber content is derived from mechanical or chemi-mechanical processes. This specific subcategory encompasses a broad range of uncoated papers and paperboards used for writing, printing, or other graphic purposes, excluding those specifically listed under heading 4801 or 4803, and handmade paper.

Distinguishing 4802.69 from its siblings, 4802.61 and 4802.62, is crucial for accurate classification. HTS 4802.61 applies to such papers when presented in rolls, while 4802.62 is for papers in sheets with specific dimensions (one side not exceeding 435 mm and the other not exceeding 297 mm in the unfolded state). Therefore, 4802.69 is the residual category for papers meeting the fiber content and general use criteria of 4802.6, but not fitting the specific roll or sheet size parameters of its siblings.

This category is further refined by its subcategories, which provide more granular classification based on the intended application of the paper. These include specific provisions for writing and cover papers (4802.69.10.00), drawing papers (4802.69.20.00), and a general "other" category (4802.69.30.00) for papers not specifically enumerated. These subdivisions allow for precise tariff application based on the functional purpose of the paper product.
