Analysis
Subheading 4823.90 covers other, within heading 4823. The first six digits are shared by every country that uses the Harmonized System, so this part of the code is the same in the US, UK and EU schedules; the 10 US tariff lines below it are national.
Every one of its 10 tariff lines is duty-free at the general rate, so classification within the subheading affects statistics and Chapter 99 measures rather than the base duty.
Its 10 lines start with 4823.90.10 (other: of paper pulp), 4823.90.20 (other: of papier-mâché), 4823.90.31 (cards, not punched, for punchcard machines…) and 4823.90.40 (frames or mounts for photographic slides); the full list is in the table below.
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by All Other Converted Paper Product Manufacturing (322299), Gasket, Packing, and Sealing Device Manufacturing (339991) and All Other Miscellaneous Nonmetallic Mineral Product Manufacturing (327999). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
