4804.42.00

Analysis

HTS 4804.42.00 covers bleached uniformly throughout the mass and of which more than 95 percent by weight of the total fiber content consists of wood fibers obtained by a chemical… under heading 4804 (uncoated kraft paper and paperboard, in rolls or sheets, other than that of heading 4802…). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 5 ten-digit suffixes, reported in kilograms.

There is no general-rate duty on this line, which puts it with roughly 100% of the 225 tariff lines in chapter 48 that are also free. Chapter 99 measures such as Section 301 or 232 can still apply on top, depending on where the goods come from.

Goods from countries without normal trade relations pay the column 2 rate of 30% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 30% duty.

The ten-digit suffixes separate base stock for milk cartons and other…, folding carton stock, base stock for trays, dishes, plates… and base stock for packaging. The duty is the same across them; the suffix matters for statistics, licensing and some quotas, and an entry needs all ten digits.
