What HS code 4801 covers: newsprint in rolls or sheets
Newsprint is the paper used to print newspapers. In the Harmonized System, it sits in Section X, which groups pulp, paper and paperboard. It must be supplied in rolls or sheets to belong here.
If you search for an HSN code or HTS 4801, you are looking at the same starting point. Those lists are built on the Harmonized System of the World Customs Organization, so the first digits line up.
HS code 480100 newsprint: the two tests
The newsprint description in 480100 gives two ways for paper to qualify. The words are joined by "or", so check both before you pick a code.
- Fibre test: the fibres come essentially from a chemi-mechanical process.
- Form: it is supplied in rolls or sheets.
HS 4801 vs 4802, 4810 and 4811: choosing the right paper heading
Many paper goods look alike, but the heading depends on the finish and use. Start with the surface of the paper.
So newsprint that meets the 4801 wording stays in 4801.
Heading 4811 is paper that is coated, impregnated, covered, surface-coloured, decorated or printed, other than goods in 4803, 4809 or 4810. Uncoated paper that fits no other heading goes to 4805.
