4810.22.70.40 - Other 🖩

This classification, HTS Code 4810.22.70.40, falls under the broader category of paper and paperboard coated with kaolin or other inorganic substances, specifically those used for writing, printing, or other graphic purposes. These papers are characterized by having more than 10 percent of their fiber content derived from mechanical or chemi-mechanical pulping processes, and are further designated as "light-weight coated paper." This particular subcategory, "Other," acts as a residual category for light-weight coated papers that do not fit into more specific classifications within this level.

To distinguish this category from its sibling, 4810.22.70.20, it's important to note that the sibling specifically covers papers containing 25 percent or more cotton fiber by weight. Therefore, HTS Code 4810.22.70.40 encompasses light-weight coated graphic papers that do not meet this specific cotton fiber content threshold. This means the fiber composition, beyond the mechanical pulping requirement, is the key differentiator at this level.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. This classification serves as the final destination for light-weight coated graphic papers that are coated with kaolin or other inorganic substances, have a significant proportion of mechanically or chemi-mechanically derived fibers, and do not contain 25 percent or more cotton fiber. Examples of products falling here might include certain types of coated publication papers, art papers, or specialty printing papers where the dominant characteristic is the light-weight coated nature and the absence of a high cotton fiber content.
