4810.13.20

Analysis

HTS 4810.13.20 covers weighing more than 150 g/m² under heading 4810 (paper and paperboard, coated on one or both sides with kaolin (China clay) or other…). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 2 ten-digit suffixes, reported in kilograms.

Goods from countries without normal trade relations pay the column 2 rate of 42% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 42% duty.

For statistics it divides in two: 4810.13.20.10 for coated on one side only and 4810.13.20.90 for other. Both pay the same duty; the suffix records which kind was imported.

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.

Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 322130 (Paperboard Mills), an industry of 179 US establishments employing 38,290 people, the industry a domestic producer of these goods reports under.
