Scope of the Orders

    The scope of the Orders covers certain coated paper and paperboard 
\7\ in sheets suitable for high quality print graphics using sheet-fed 
presses; coated on one or both sides with kaolin (China or other clay), 
calcium carbonate, titanium dioxide, and/or other inorganic substances; 
with or without a binder; having a GE brightness level of 80 or 
higher,\8\ weighing not more than 340 grams per square meter; whether 
gloss grade, satin grade, matte grade, dull grade, or any other grade 
of finish; whether or not surface-colored, surface-decorated, printed 
(except as described below), embossed, or perforated; and irrespective 
of dimensions (certain coated paper).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ ``Paperboard'' refers to certain coated paper that is 
heavier, thicker and more rigid than coated paper which otherwise 
meets the product description. In the context of certain coated 
paper, paperboard typically is referred to as ``cover,'' to 
distinguish it from ``text.''
    \8\ One of the key measurements of any grade of paper is 
brightness. Generally speaking, the brighter the paper the better 
the contrast between the paper and the ink. Brightness is measured 
using a GE Reflectance Scale, which measures the reflection of light 
off of a grade of paper. One is the lowest reflection, or what would 
be given to a totally black grade, and 100 is the brightest measured 
grade.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Certain coated paper includes (a) coated free sheet paper and 
paperboard that meets this scope definition; (b) coated groundwood 
paper and paperboard produced from bleached chemi-thermo-mechanical 
pulp (BCTMP) that meets this scope definition; and (c) any other coated 
paper and paperboard that meets this scope definition.
    Certain coated paper is typically (but not exclusively) used for 
printing multi-colored graphics for catalogues, books, magazines, 
envelopes, labels and wraps, greeting cards, and other commercial 
printing applications requiring high quality print graphics.
    Specifically excluded from the scope are imports of paper and 
paperboard printed with final content printed text or graphics.
    Imports of the subject merchandise are provided for under the 
following categories of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United 
States (HTSUS): 4810.14.11, 4810.14.1900, 4810.14.2010, 4810.14.2090, 
4810.14.5000, 4810.14.6000, 4810.14.70, 4810.19.1100, 4810.19.1900, 
4810.19.2010, 4810.19.2090, 4810.22.1000, 4810.22.50, 4810.22.6000, 
4810.22.70, 4810.29.1000, 4810.29.5000, 4810.29.6000, 4810.29.70, 
4810.32, 4810.39 and 4810.92. While HTSUS subheadings are provided for 
convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the scope 
of the Orders is dispositive.
