Analysis
Subheading 4802.57 covers other, weighing 40 g/m² or more but not more than 150 g/m², within heading 4802. The first six digits are shared by every country that uses the Harmonized System, so this part of the code is the same in the US, UK and EU schedules; the 4 US tariff lines below it are national.
Every one of its 4 tariff lines is duty-free at the general rate, so classification within the subheading affects statistics and Chapter 99 measures rather than the base duty.
The US splits it as follows: 4802.57.10 for writing and cover paper (duty-free), 4802.57.20 for other, weighing 40 g/m² or more but not more than 150 g/m²: drawing… (duty-free), 4802.57.30 for india and bible paper (duty-free) and 4802.57.40 for other, weighing 40 g/m² or more but not more than 150 g/m²: other (duty-free).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Paper Mills (32212). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
