Heading 4802 does not, however, cover filter paper or paperboard (including tea-bag paper) or felt paper of paperboard;

6. In this chapter “Kraft paper and paperboard” means paper and paperboard of which not less than 80% by weight of the total fibre content consists of fibres obtained by the chemical sulphate or soda processes.

7. Except where the terms of the headings otherwise require, paper, paperboard , cellulose wadding and webs of cellulose fibres answering to a description in two or more of the headings 4801 to 4811 are to be classified under that one of such headings which occurs last in numerical order in this schedule.

8. Headings 4801, and 4803, to 4809, apply only to paper, paperboard, cellulose wadding and webs of cellulose fibres :

(a) In strips or rolls of a width exceeding 36cm; or
(b) In rectangular (including square) sheets with one side exceeding 36 cm and the other side exceeding 15 cm in the unfolded state.

9. For the purposes of heading 4814, the expression “wall paper and similar wall coverings” applies only to :

(a) Paper in rolls, of width of not less than 45 cm and not more than 160 cm suitable for wall or ceiling decoration :

(i) Grained, embossed, surface-coloured, design-printed or otherwise surface-decorated (e.g., with textile flock), whether or not coated or covered with transparent protective plastics ;
(ii) With an uneven surface resulting from the incorporation of particles of wood, straw etc. ;
(iii) Coated or covered on the face side with plastics, the layer of plastics being grained, embossed, coloured, design-printed or otherwise is decorated ; or
