4810.99.65.00 - Other 🖩

HTS Code 4810.99.65.00, described as "Other," falls under the broader category of other paper and paperboard within the larger classification for paper and paperboard coated on one or both sides with kaolin or other inorganic substances. This specific subheading encompasses paper and paperboard that do not fit into more narrowly defined categories within the "Other" subheadings of coated paper and paperboard. It represents a residual classification for coated papers and paperboards that are not otherwise specified and do not meet the criteria for specialized uses or constructions.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, HTS 4810.99.30.00 (Cards, not punched, for punch card machines, whether or not in strips), which specifically covers perforated or unperforforated cards intended for automated data processing equipment. Unlike that defined use, 4810.99.65.00 is a catch-all for coated papers and paperboards not designated for such specific mechanical or data processing functions. The defining characteristic remains the coating of kaolin or other inorganic substances, but without the specific end-use or form factor of its siblings.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification into 4810.99.65.00 is determined by exclusion. If a coated paper or paperboard product does not meet the specific criteria of preceding subheadings within Chapter 48, and particularly within heading 4810, it will be classified here. Practical classification will rely on the absence of specific coatings beyond inorganic substances, the lack of specialized surface decoration or printing that would place it in another category, and the fact that it is not specifically designed or used for purposes defined by other HTS codes.
