Overview
This HTS classification, 4810.13.11.40, covers "Other" paper and paperboard that meets specific criteria within the broader category of coated papers. Specifically, it pertains to paper and paperboard coated on one or both sides with kaolin or other inorganic substances, without additional coatings. This subcategory includes paper primarily intended for writing, printing, or other graphic purposes, containing minimal or no fibers derived from mechanical or chemi-mechanical processes. The paper is supplied in rolls and has a width exceeding 15 cm, weighing no more than 150 g/m².
The distinguishing factor for this classification lies in its specific end-use and coating type. It differentiates from the sibling category 4810.13.11.20, "Baryta coated," by excluding papers coated with baryta, which is a distinct inorganic substance often used for photographic paper. This "Other" designation implies that the paper, while fitting the general description of coated paper for graphic purposes, does not fall into more specific sub-classifications based on the type of inorganic coating.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 4810.13.11.40. Therefore, the focus for classification within this specific code is on confirming that the paper is indeed for photographic sensitization, is coated with inorganic substances other than baryta, and otherwise meets all the preceding criteria regarding fiber content, dimensions, and weight. Examples could include specialized photographic base papers that are not baryta coated but still require precise handling and specific physical properties for image development processes.
