Analysis
HTS 4801.00.01 covers newsprint, in rolls or sheets under heading 4801 (newsprint, in rolls or sheets). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 2 ten-digit suffixes, reported in metric tons.
For statistics it divides in two: 4801.00.01.20 for standard newsprint paper and 4801.00.01.40 for other. Both pay the same duty; the suffix records which kind was imported.
Goods classified here enter the United States duty-free at the general (normal trade relations) rate, as do about 100% of the 225 tariff lines in chapter 48. Chapter 99 measures such as Section 301 or 232 can still apply on top, depending on where the goods come from.
It is the only US line under subheading 4801.00, so the six-digit code used by every Harmonized System country and the eight-digit US line describe the same goods; a foreign tariff or an exporter's invoice showing 4801.00 points straight here.
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 32212 (Paper Mills), an industry of 188 US establishments employing 42,893 people. That is the industry code a US manufacturer of the same product would normally use.
