4823.90 - Other:

This HTS category, 4823.90, encompasses a broad range of paper, paperboard, cellulose wadding, and webs of cellulose fibers that are cut to a specific size or shape, as well as other articles manufactured from these materials. It serves as a residual category for items not specifically provided for in other headings within Chapter 48, and it includes a diverse array of manufactured goods.

Distinguishing 4823.90 from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. Unlike the specific exclusion of filter paper and paperboard (4823.20), or the printed rolls, sheets, and dials for recording apparatus (4823.40.00.00), this heading captures a more general collection of articles. Similarly, it differs from the specific inclusion of trays, dishes, plates, cups, and similar items made of paper or paperboard, and molded or pressed articles of paper pulp (4823.70.00). The primary criterion for inclusion here is that the article is made from paper, paperboard, cellulose wadding, or webs of cellulose fibers, and is either cut to a specific dimension or is an article not otherwise specified.

Within the 4823.90 classification, further subdivisions exist to refine the classification based on the primary material. The subcategories include articles specifically manufactured from paper pulp (4823.90.10.00) and those made from papier-mâché (4823.90.20.00). The residual "Other" subcategory is for articles not fitting these specific material distinctions, ensuring comprehensive coverage for a wide variety of paper-based products.
