Overview
HTS code 4810.29 encompasses "Other" paper and paperboard that meets the preceding criteria of being coated on one or both sides with kaolin or other inorganic substances, with or without a binder, and with no other coating. This category specifically applies to paper of a kind used for writing, printing, or other graphic purposes, where more than 10 percent of the fiber content is derived from mechanical or chemi-mechanical processes. The "Other" designation signifies that these products do not fit the specific description of lightweight coated paper found under HTS 4810.22.
The distinction from HTS 4810.22, "Light-weight coated paper," lies in the physical properties and weight of the coated paper. While 4810.22 is reserved for coated papers with a basis weight typically below a certain threshold (often considered less than 150 g/m²), 4810.29 covers coated papers of this type that do not meet that specific lightweight definition. Both fall under the broader heading for coated paper used for graphic purposes, but 4810.29 captures the coated papers that are heavier or do not qualify as "light-weight."
Within HTS 4810.29, further subdivisions exist to classify these coated papers based on their dimensions. HTS 4810.29.10 specifically addresses products presented in strips or rolls exceeding 15 cm in width, or in rectangular sheets where one dimension exceeds 36 cm and the other exceeds 15 cm when unfolded. The remaining "Other" subcategory, which is also implicitly represented under 4810.29 as a general classification, would capture any coated papers meeting the parent criteria but not conforming to the specific dimensional requirements of 4810.29.10, or potentially other un-subdivided variations.
