HTS codes: 4823.51.0080
Headings: 4823
Product description
They are unprinted white sheets measuring 8½” x 11”, with a very small piece of one corner cut off diagonally. They exhibit a glossy, coated appearance on one side (you indicate the presence of a silica coating), and a dull, uncoated surface on the other. In addition, each sheet has been perforated so as to facilitate, evidently, the creation of either two single-ply cards (each 4 5/8” x 7”) or one folded card having those same dimensions in its closed condition.
CBP rationale
The applicable subheading for the above-described sheets will be 4823.51.0080, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other (than certain enumerated) paper and paperboard, cut to size or shape, of a kind used for writing, printing or other graphic purposes: printed, embossed or perforated.
