Dear Mr. Dorf: In your letter dated March 30, 1992, on behalf of your client, Sopal Poly Papier, you requested a tariff classification ruling. Samples and specifications were submitted, which will be retained for reference. The product is a 45 gsm sulfurized vegetable parchment paper (grease proof sheet) which is coated on both sides with polyethylene. Total weight of the coated sheet is 75 gsm.

Once the margarine is covered by the "Coverleaf", the plastic tub is sealed with a plastic cover. The sizes/widths are stated to be "8 oz (98 mm) and 16 oz (110 mm)." We understand this to mean that, in condition as imported, "Coverleaf 46" will be on rolls, not more than 110 mm in width; or in rectangular sheets with no side longer than 110 mm; or in circular or other non-rectangular shapes. The applicable subheading for "Coverleaf 46", in the sizes or shapes mentioned will be 4823.90.6500, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for Other (than certain enumerated) paper, cut to size or shape, of coated paper or paperboard.
