Overview

This HTS category, 4805.93.40.20, specifically classifies construction paper. Construction paper is a type of uncoated paper or paperboard, characterized by its weight of 225 g/m² or more, and its intended use in construction-related activities or as a robust paper for artistic and crafting purposes. It is typically made from wood pulp and is known for its durability and often colored finish.

This specific classification is distinguished from its siblings by its intended application. For instance, folding carton board (4805.93.40.10) is designed for box manufacturing, wet machine board (4805.93.40.15) has specialized properties due to its manufacturing process, linerboard (4805.93.40.30) is used in corrugated board production, and tube and core board (4805.93.40.50) is for creating cylindrical structures. The "Other" category at this level (4805.93.40.60) would encompass uncoated paper and paperboard weighing 225 g/m² or more that does not fit into the more specific sibling descriptions.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 4805.93.40.20. Classification decisions at this level are determined by the specific characteristics and end-use of the paper, with "construction paper" representing a distinct product within the broader context of other uncoated paper and paperboard weighing 225 g/m² or more.
