Overview
This HTS classification, 4805.12.10.00, specifically covers straw fluting paper that weighs 150 grams per square meter (g/m²) or less. This paper is a type of uncoated paperboard intended for use in the production of corrugated cardboard. Its primary characteristic for classification purposes is its relatively low basis weight.
Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 4805.12.20.00, is solely based on the paper's weight. While both fall under straw fluting paper, this subcategory is for those weighing up to and including 150 g/m², whereas the sibling category encompasses straw fluting paper exceeding that weight threshold. Both are intended for the same general purpose but differ in their physical density.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. The classification is finalized at this level based on the material being straw fluting paper and its specific weight falling within the defined range. This granular level of detail ensures accurate tariff application for these specific types of paperboard.
