Overview
This HTS classification, 4805.91.50.00, specifically covers "other uncoated paper and paperboard" that weighs not over 15 grams per square meter (g/m²). This category is for paper and paperboard that does not fit into more specific classifications within heading 4805, and crucially, has a very low basis weight. Examples of products that might fall here include certain types of specialized tissue paper, lightweight interleaving papers, or very thin paper used in manufacturing processes where a low basis weight is a critical characteristic.
The key differentiator for this subcategory lies in its extremely light weight. It is distinguished from its sibling categories by this precise weight threshold. Specifically, 4805.91.70.00 covers paper weighing over 15 g/m² but not over 30 g/m², and 4805.91.90.00 applies to paper weighing over 30 g/m². Therefore, any uncoated paper or paperboard classified under 4805.91.50.00 must weigh 15 g/m² or less.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to explore under this specific code. Classification decisions at this level hinge solely on the weight specification and the general exclusion from more specific uncoated paper and paperboard categories within heading 4805. The "other" designation signifies that the paper or paperboard has not undergone further specific processing or modification that would place it in a more specialized classification.
