4805.91.10 - Multi-ply paper and paperboard; bibulous and wrapping paper

This HTS code, 4805.91.10, encompasses multi-ply paper and paperboard, as well as bibulous and wrapping papers, that are not further worked beyond the specifications outlined in Chapter 48, Note 3. Specifically, this subcategory pertains to "other" uncoated paper and paperboard, weighing 150 g/m² or less. This means it includes a broad range of papers that do not fit into more specialized classifications within this chapter, and are characterized by their lighter weight.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 4805.91.20.00 (Condenser paper), is the absence of a specific technical application. Condenser paper has a specialized use in electrical capacitors and is typically manufactured with particular purity and electrical insulation properties. In contrast, 4805.91.10.00 covers a more general category of uncoated, lightweight paper and paperboard without such specific functional requirements.

Within this classification, two subcategories exist to further refine the classification. 4805.91.10.10 specifically covers "folding carton board," indicating paperboard designed for the manufacture of folding boxes and cartons, often characterized by its stiffness and printability. The remaining "other" papers and paperboards falling under 4805.91.10.90 include a diverse array of lightweight, uncoated materials not otherwise specified, such as certain types of tissue paper, specialty wrapping papers, or other multi-ply papers used for general purposes.
