Last updated: April 2026 dataResidual sheet-format grades in the 40–150 g/m² range that do not fit the dimensional criteria of 480256 fall here, including writing and cover paper in standard cut sizes (4802571040 covers 965×635 mm sheets), drawing paper (4802572000), and general uncoated paperboard (4802574040 and 4802574085). Canada is the primary supplier, with Germany and South Korea also contributing meaningfully.

That dimension corresponds to a standard commercial offset printing sheet widely used in the graphic arts industry. Its explicit enumeration in the tariff schedule means importers supplying paper to print shops or publishers in that cut size should classify under 4802571040 rather than the catch-all NESOI line, which can affect duty treatment and statistical reporting.
Rolls and sheets are classified under different 10-digit lines even when the paper grade is identical. Each physical form must be declared separately on the entry, with the applicable HTS code matched to the presentation format. Combining them under a single line is a classification error that can trigger a CF-28 request for information or a penalty.
