Overview
This HTS classification covers unbleached kraft paper and paperboard, specifically those that are not otherwise specified by headings 4802 or 4803. The defining characteristics for this category are its weight, which must be greater than 150 g/m² but less than 225 g/m², and its unbleached nature. Kraft paper is known for its strength and durability due to the pulping process used in its manufacture.
This subcategory, 4804.41, is distinguished from its siblings by its unbleached state. HTS code 4804.42 pertains to kraft paper and paperboard that has been bleached uniformly throughout the mass and primarily consists of wood fibers obtained by a chemical process. The "other" subcategory at this level (4804.49) captures kraft paper and paperboard with the specified weight range that does not meet the criteria for being unbleached or bleached as described.
Within this unbleached kraft paper and paperboard category (4804.41), further distinctions are made based on the intended use. The subcategory 4804.41.20 specifically covers products classified as wrapping paper, indicating a primary function for packaging or covering. The remaining goods that fit the weight and unbleached criteria but are not designated as wrapping paper fall under the "other" subcategory 4804.41.40, encompassing a broader range of applications for this type of paper and paperboard.
