The spaces only make the code easier to read. Customs declarations normally use the unspaced form, 48025680.
This is the catch-all under 4802 56: it covers what the sibling codes below do not.
Within this parent group, this is where qualifying sheets within the stated dimensions and weight range go when they are not the specifically named A4 sheets and are not covered by another sibling description.
Compare the sibling codes at this level before you settle on this one.
Besides the ordinary duty, the EU records these kinds of measure against this code. They are listed as signals only: whether one applies to your goods can depend on where they come from, who produced them, the exact product and the documents you present. No amounts are worked out here.
Preferential rates exist for goods originating in United Kingdom and United States. Whether you can use one depends on the origin rules for the goods and on the documentation you can show.
