4811.59.20.00 - Printing paper

This HTS category, 4811.59.20.00, specifically covers printing paper that is coated, impregnated, or covered with plastics, and meets certain dimensional criteria. These papers are designed for use in printing processes, implying a certain level of surface quality, absorbency, and weight. The plastic coating or covering serves to enhance durability, printability, or water resistance, differentiating it from uncoated printing papers.

This classification is distinguished from its sibling category, 4811.59.40, which is also designated for "Other" goods at this level. While both fall under the broader "Other" designation within papers coated with plastics, the distinction between .20.00 (printing paper) and .40 (other) implies that the latter would encompass plastic-coated papers not specifically identified or intended for printing, such as certain packaging papers or decorative papers with plastic finishes.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS database, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 4811.59.20.00 relies on confirming that the paper is indeed intended for printing and possesses the requisite plastic coating or covering, alongside meeting the specified dimensions for strips or rolls exceeding 15 cm in width, or rectangular sheets with one side exceeding 36 cm and the other exceeding 15 cm.
