Overview
This classification pertains to unbleached condenser paper, a specialized type of kraft paper and paperboard. Condenser paper is specifically manufactured for use in electrolytic capacitors, where its porous structure and high absorbency are critical for holding the electrolyte. While falling under the broader category of other kraft paper and paperboard weighing 150 g/m² or less and being unbleached, the key defining characteristic here is its intended application as a dielectric material in electrical components.
This specific subcategory is distinguished from its sibling, 4804.31.10.00, by its weight. The sibling category covers condenser paper weighing over 15 g/m² but not over 30 g/m². This current classification, therefore, encompasses unbleached condenser paper that falls outside that specific weight range, implying it could be lighter or heavier than that defined range, but still intended for condenser use. The term "Other" within the description signifies that it captures condenser paper not explicitly defined by the sibling's weight parameters.
As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories for this specific HTS code. Classification decisions at this level will therefore rely on a thorough assessment of the paper's physical properties, particularly its grammage and porosity, and confirmation of its intended end-use as a dielectric material in electrolytic condensers.
