Analysis
HTS 4810.22.70 covers other: other 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.
For statistics it divides in two: 4810.22.70.20 for containing by weight 25 percent or more cotton fiber and 4810.22.70.40 for other. Both pay the same duty; the suffix records which kind was imported.
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.
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 other lines in the same group are 4810.22.10 (in strips or rolls of a width exceeding 15 cm or in…, duty-free), 4810.22.50 (printed, embossed or perforated, duty-free) and 4810.22.60 (basic paper to be sensitized for use in photography, duty-free).
