4805.93.20.00 - Pressboard 🖩

This HTS classification, 4805.93.20.00, specifically covers pressboard. Pressboard is a dense, high-density paperboard characterized by its significant thickness and strength, often used in applications requiring structural integrity such as binding, construction, or as protective layers. It falls under the broader category of "Other uncoated paper and paperboard," indicating it is not coated, printed, or specifically manufactured for a specialty use like photographic paper or carbon paper.

Within the broader group of "Other uncoated paper and paperboard, in rolls or sheets, not further worked or processed," and specifically under "Other, weighing 225 g/m² or more," this classification distinguishes itself from its sibling category, 4805.93.40, which is also designated as "Other." The key differentiator is the specific inclusion of "pressboard" under this code, implying a distinct grade or type of heavy, uncoated paperboard that may possess unique manufacturing characteristics or intended end-uses compared to other unspecified heavy paperboards within the 4805.93 range.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS database, there are no further subcategories under 4805.93.20.00. Therefore, classification at this level requires a precise identification of the material as pressboard, meeting the weight requirement of 225 g/m² or more, and falling under the umbrella of uncoated paper and paperboard that is not further processed beyond basic rolling or sheeting. It is crucial for importers and exporters to confirm that their product meets the physical and compositional attributes of pressboard to ensure accurate classification.
