Analysis
HTS 4805.19.10 covers weighing 150 g/m² or less under heading 4805 (other uncoated paper and paperboard, in rolls or sheets, not further worked or processed…).
This line's footnotes point to one additional provision in Chapter 99: 9903.90.08 (measures on products of Russia). Chapter 99 duties are added on top of the general rate for goods of the countries they name, and they change more often than the rest of the schedule, so check the current CBP guidance before you rely on a total.
The normal trade relations rate here is zero, shared by about 100% of the 225 tariff lines in chapter 48, a useful check when a neighbouring dutiable line is a candidate. 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.
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 32212 (Paper Mills), an industry of 188 US establishments employing 42,893 people. That concordance is how imports of this line are compared with US output.
