HS v2017 Code: 470691

About pulp; of fibrous cellulosic material, other than of bamboo or fibres derived from recovered (waste and scrap) paper or paperboard or from cotton linters pulp, mechanical

HS code 470691 covers a crucial component of the global pulp and paper industry - the production of pulp from fibrous cellulosic materials other than bamboo, recovered paper, or cotton linters. This type of pulp serves as a fundamental raw material for the manufacture of various paper and paperboard products, making it an essential part of the broader supply chain that supports industries ranging from packaging to printing and publishing.

Production process

The production of pulp under HS code 470691 typically involves mechanical processing techniques. This may include processes such as grinding, refining, or other mechanical treatments to break down the fibrous cellulosic materials into a pulp form. The specific techniques used can vary depending on the source material and the desired properties of the final pulp product.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of pulp under HS code 470691 include various fibrous cellulosic materials, such as wood, agricultural residues, or other plant-based sources. Specialized machinery and equipment, such as grinders, refiners, and pulp processing systems, are also essential inputs for this industry. Additionally, water and energy resources are necessary for the pulping process.

Production outputs

The primary output of the industry covered by HS code 470691 is the pulp itself, which can be used as a raw material for the production of a wide range of paper and paperboard products. This pulp may be further processed or blended with other types of pulp, such as 470691 (Pulp; of fibrous cellulosic material, other than of bamboo or fibres derived from recovered (waste and scrap) paper or paperboard or from cotton linters pulp, mechanical), to create specific paper grades or specialty products.
