Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

4802.54.10Same rate: 37.5%

If coated on one or both sides

Coated paper for graphic purposes shifts to subheading 4802.54, as coating changes material properties and use.

4810.22Lower: 12.5% vs 37.5%

If light-weight coated for printing

Light-weight coated paper (≤72 g/m²) for printing falls under 4810.22 per subheading note, differing from uncoated base stock.

4802Same rate: 37.5%

If in rectangular sheets of fixed size

Loose sheets cut to size may classify under 4802.90 instead of rolls/sheets of any size in 4802.20.
