8443.11.10.00 - Double-width newspaper printing presses

This HTS category, 8443.11.10.00, specifically covers double-width newspaper printing presses. These are highly specialized machines designed for the high-volume, continuous printing of newspapers, characterized by their significant size and capacity to print on wide rolls of paper. The "double-width" designation refers to the configuration of the printing units, which allows for the simultaneous printing on two broadsheets side-by-side, thereby increasing overall output speed and efficiency.

This classification is distinguished from its sibling category, 8443.11.50.00 ("Other"), which would encompass other types of reel-fed offset printing machinery not specifically identified as double-width newspaper presses. Therefore, the key differentiator is the specific application and physical configuration for newspaper production.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 8443.11.10.00 is definitive for machines meeting the specified criteria. Importers should ensure that the printing presses in question are primarily designed and utilized for the printing of newspapers and possess the characteristic double-width configuration, distinguishing them from other offset printing equipment.
