Overview
This HTS category, 6809.11.00.80, encompasses "Other" articles of plaster or compositions based on plaster, which are in the form of boards, sheets, panels, tiles, and similar articles. These articles are specifically faced or reinforced with paper or paperboard only, and importantly, are not ornamented. This classification is intended for products that meet the general description of plaster articles faced or reinforced with paper or paperboard, but do not fall under more specific sub-classifications.
The key differentiator for this category lies in its broad scope, capturing plaster-based articles that are otherwise specified. For instance, while sibling category 6809.11.00.10 specifically covers "Of gypsum plaster" under similar construction, this "Other" designation is for non-gypsum plaster compositions or other plaster types that are faced or reinforced with paper or paperboard and lack ornamentation. The defining characteristic remains the presence of paper or paperboard as the sole facing or reinforcing material and the absence of decorative embellishments.
As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 6809.11.00.80 relies on a thorough assessment of whether the product fits the preceding description of boards, sheets, panels, tiles, and similar articles made from plaster or plaster compositions, exclusively faced or reinforced with paper or paperboard, and crucially, is not ornamented. Any deviation from these criteria would necessitate a review of alternative HTS classifications.
