Rectangular paper cards coated with kaolin on one or both sides, measuring 80 columns by 12 rows, designed specifically for IBM punch card machines like the 029 Key Punch. These cards are not pre-punched and may be supplied in strips for efficient feeding. They fall under HTS 4810.99.30.00 due to their coating and dedicated use in punch card data processing systems.
Fanfold Unpunched Punch Card Strips
Coated paper cards connected in continuous fanfold strips, not punched, for loading into punch card machines such as Univac or IBM systems. The kaolin coating ensures smooth feeding and printing. Classified under HTS 4810.99.30.00 as explicitly allowed 'whether or not in strips' for punch card applications.
12-Row Rectangular Punch Cards for Keypunches
Kaolin-coated rectangular sheets formatted to 12 rows for punch card tabulating machines, not punched, suitable for data entry in legacy computing. The inorganic coating prevents ink smearing during punching. HTS 4810.99.30.00 covers these due to coating and punch card machine designation.
Standard 80x12 Coated Punch Media Cards
Surface-coated cards in 80-character by 12-row format, unpunched, for punch card readers and sorters in mainframe systems. The kaolin coating aids in reliable optical and mechanical reading post-punching. Fits HTS 4810.99.30.00 as coated cards explicitly for punch card machines.
Legacy System Unpunched Tab Card Strips
