4810.39 - Other:

This HTS category, 4810.39, encompasses kraft paper and paperboard that has been coated on one or both sides with kaolin or other inorganic substances, with or without a binder. Crucially, these papers and paperboards do not possess any other form of coating. They may be surface-colored, decorated, or printed, and are supplied in rolls or rectangular sheets of any size. The defining characteristic of this classification is the material itself – kraft paper and paperboard, specifically excluding that intended for writing, printing, or other graphic purposes.

This category is distinguished from its siblings, 4810.31 and 4810.32, by the absence of specific requirements regarding the bleaching process and the proportion of chemically obtained wood fibers, as well as weight per square meter. While 4810.31 and 4810.32 detail bleached kraft papers and paperboards based on fiber content and weight, this "Other" category (4810.39) captures all remaining coated kraft papers and paperboards that meet the general description but not the specific criteria of the other subheadings.

The subcategories for 4810.39 further refine the classification based on the dimensions of the product. The first subcategory includes products presented in strips or rolls with a width exceeding 15 cm, or in rectangular sheets where one side exceeds 36 cm and the other exceeds 15 cm when unfolded. The second subcategory, also labeled "Other," serves as a catch-all for kraft papers and paperboards meeting the primary description but not fitting the specific dimensional criteria of the preceding subdivision.
