Product description
The sample is a fan-folded strip of white paper having a width of 24 cm. The right and left margins are vertically perforated, about 1 cm from the edge, so as to form tear strips which, in turn, are punched with small, regularly spaced holes designed to accommodate the cogged wheels of computer printers. In addition, the paper is horizontally perforated (at each fold) so that individual, 28 cm long sheets can be torn off. Each sheet is also printed in color with a muted pictorial image accompanied by a caption (e.g., "Happy Holidays").
CBP rationale
The applicable subheading for the perforated and printed computer paper will be 4811.90.8000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other (than certain enumerated) printed paper weighing over 30 gsm.
