Analysis
HTS 4810.19.13 covers india or bible paper under heading 4810 (paper and paperboard, coated on one or both sides with kaolin (China clay) or other…).
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 24% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 24% duty.
The other lines in the same group are 4810.19.11 (basic paper to be sensitized for use in photography, duty-free), 4810.19.19 (weighing not more than 150 g/m²: other, duty-free) and 4810.19.20 (weighing more than 150 g/m², duty-free).
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.
