Overview
This HTS category, "Other," under 4810.31.10, encompasses kraft paper and paperboard that meets specific technical criteria but does not fall under any more narrowly defined subcategories within this group. The core requirements are that the material is bleached uniformly, over 95% of its fiber content is from chemical wood pulp, and it weighs 150 g/m² or less. Furthermore, it must be presented in strips or rolls exceeding 15 cm in width, or in rectangular or square sheets where one side is over 36 cm and the other is over 15 cm when unfolded.
This "Other" designation serves as a residual category for qualifying kraft papers and paperboards that are not specifically classified as gift wrap, which is a sibling category at the same level. Gift wrap, while also being a kraft paper and paperboard under the broader scope of 4810, is distinguished by its intended end-use and often specific decorative features or packaging formats tailored for that purpose.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, classification into this "Other" category hinges on fulfilling all the preceding criteria within heading 4810 and its subheadings, and not meeting the specific criteria for any preceding or sibling classifications. This includes ensuring the paper or paperboard is not intended for writing, printing, or other graphic purposes, and that it is not coated with kaolin or other inorganic substances with only a binder, as such materials would fall under different provisions within Chapter 48.
