4810.92.65 - Other

This classification, HTS Code 4810.92.65, encompasses "Other" paper and paperboard within the multi-ply category, specifically designed for applications not covered by more specific subheadings. These are typically multi-layered papers or paperboards that have been coated on one or both sides with kaolin (China clay) or other inorganic substances. The presence of a binder is permissible, but no other type of coating should be present. These articles can be surface-colored, decorated, or printed and are supplied in either rolls or rectangular sheets.

The distinction from sibling categories, such as HTS Code 4810.92.30.00, is crucial. While this sibling category specifically identifies cards for punch card machines, HTS Code 4810.92.65.00 is a broader classification for other multi-ply, inorganic-coated papers and paperboards that do not fit into that specialized designation. The defining characteristic is the absence of specialized function (like punch cards) and the presence of the specified inorganic coating on multi-ply material.

This category further subdivides to provide greater specificity in classification, reflecting variations in presentation. The subcategories, HTS 4810.92.65.25 (In rolls) and HTS 4810.92.65.35 (In sheets), differentiate based on the physical form in which the paper or paperboard is supplied. This distinction is important for logistics, inventory management, and often for pricing and customs declaration purposes.
