Last updated: April 2026 dataResidual clay-coated writing and printing paper with no more than 10% mechanical fiber — not elsewhere specified by form (rolls or standard cut sheets) — captures specialty formats and sizes that fall outside the dimensional brackets of headings 481013 and 481014. Commercial significance lies in the catch-all nature of the heading: oversized sheets, non-standard cut sizes, and certain specialty graphic-arts substrates route here when they cannot be classified in the more specific roll or standard-sheet subheadings. The US schedule subdivides by basis weight and coating configuration, with lines 4810191100 through 4810192090 covering photographic base paper, India/Bible grades, and general writing paper in both light and heavy weights.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Heading 481019 is the residual category for clay-coated writing and printing paper with ≤10% mechanical fiber that does not fit the roll format of 481013 or the specific sheet dimensions of 481014. This includes oversized sheets, non-standard cut sizes, and certain specialty graphic-arts substrates. Importers should work through the dimensional and form criteria of the more specific headings first before defaulting to 481019.
Yes. The US 10-digit lines under 481019 split at 150 g/m², with lighter papers (e.g., 4810191550, 4810191900) and heavier papers (4810192010, 4810192090) in separate lines. Additionally, one-sided versus two-sided coating is a further distinction at the heavier weight tier. Mill certification of basis weight and coating configuration should accompany the commercial invoice.
