4802.69.10.00 - Writing and cover paper

This HTS category, 4802.69.10.00, specifically classifies writing and cover paper that meets certain fiber content and processing criteria. The paper within this classification is characterized by having more than 10 percent by weight of its total fiber content derived from mechanical or chemi-mechanical processes. This differentiates it from papers where the primary fiber content is obtained through chemical pulping alone.

While sibling categories like 4802.69.20.00 cover specialized drawing paper, this classification is broader, encompassing general writing papers and cover stock used in various graphic applications, excluding highly specialized types. The "Other" designation within the parent "Other" category at this level suggests it captures a diverse range of writing and cover papers not specifically itemized elsewhere.

As a leaf node, this category represents the most granular level of classification for this particular type of paper. Classification into 4802.69.10.00 hinges on confirming the fiber composition meets the mechanical or chemi-mechanical threshold and that the paper is intended for writing, printing, or general graphic purposes, including its use as cover material. The physical dimensions, whether in rolls or sheets, are also a consideration as per the broader heading scope.
