This lightweight coated paper, with over 25% cotton fiber content, is designed for high-quality printing and graphic arts, coated on both sides with kaolin for smooth ink reception. It falls under HTS 4810.22.7020 due to its mechanical fiber content exceeding 10%, lightweight specification (under 72 g/m² with coating ≤15 g/m² per side), and minimum 25% cotton fiber. The cotton enhances its premium texture and absorbency for art prints and stationery.

Papers with <25% cotton but still lightweight coated for printing shift to general 'other' subheading without cotton specification.

4802.56.10Same rate: 35%

If uncoated

Uncoated cotton fiber content paper (>25% cotton) falls under uncoated fine paper headings in 4802, as coating disqualifies it from 4810.

If weighing over 72 g/m²

Exceeding lightweight threshold moves it to other coated paper for printing, outside the specific 4810.22 light-weight category.
