Overview

This HTS category, 4811.51.40.00, covers specific types of bleached paper and paperboard that are coated, impregnated, or covered with plastics, and weigh more than 150 grams per square meter. These materials are supplied in either strips or rolls with a width exceeding 15 cm, or in rectangular sheets where one dimension surpasses 36 cm and the other exceeds 15 cm when unfolded. The "Other" designation within this subcategory typically signifies goods that do not fit into more specific, defined criteria within the broader 4811.51.xx range, but still meet the general requirements of being bleached, plastic-coated/impregnated paperboard of the specified weight and dimensions.

The key differentiator for this category is its distinction from sibling categories that specify precise physical characteristics. For instance, while this category defines the plastic coating and size parameters, it does not stipulate a minimum thickness. This contrasts with sibling categories, such as 4811.51.20, which specifically address materials with a thickness of 0.3 mm or more. Therefore, items classified under 4811.51.40.00 are those that meet the general weight and dimensional requirements but are not specifically distinguished by their thickness at this level.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level is final for goods meeting all the preceding criteria within heading 4811 and subheadings 4811.51 and 4811.51.40. This typically includes, but is not limited to, various forms of plastic-laminated papers or paperboards used for packaging, decorative purposes, or as components in other manufactured goods, provided they meet the weight, dimension, bleaching, and plastic-covering specifications, and are not otherwise specifically classified.
