Analysis
HTS 4810.19.19 covers weighing not more than 150 g/m²: other under heading 4810 (paper and paperboard, coated on one or both sides with kaolin (China clay) or other…).
Goods from countries without normal trade relations pay the column 2 rate of 37% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 37% duty.
Goods classified here enter the United States duty-free at the general (normal trade relations) rate, as do about 100% of the 225 tariff lines in chapter 48. Chapter 99 measures such as Section 301 or 232 can still apply on top, depending on where the goods come from.
The other lines in the same group are 4810.19.11 (basic paper to be sensitized for use in photography, duty-free), 4810.19.13 (india or bible paper, 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 is the industry code a US manufacturer of the same product would normally use.
