Overview
This HTS category, 4819.20.00.40, encompasses a broad range of folding cartons, boxes, and cases constructed from non-corrugated paper or paperboard. These containers are designed for various packaging purposes and are distinct from those specifically designated for sanitary food and beverage applications, which fall under HTS code 4819.20.00.20. The key differentiator lies in the intended use and specific design features; while sanitary containers are manufactured to meet stringent hygiene standards for direct contact with foodstuffs, this "Other" category captures general-purpose folding paper and paperboard packaging.
Examples of goods classified here include folding boxes used for cosmetics, electronics, apparel, small hardware, and general retail packaging where direct food contact is not a primary consideration. The material composition will be paper or paperboard that is not corrugated, meaning it lacks the fluted inner layer characteristic of corrugated board. This classification hinges on the structural integrity and common application of the folding container, distinguishing it from more specialized or structurally robust packaging options.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, the classification relies on the accurate identification of the item as a folding carton, box, or case made of non-corrugated paper or paperboard, and its exclusion from any specifically defined sibling categories. The absence of specialized features or intended uses that would place it in a more granular classification makes it fall under this residual "Other" designation.
