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, chemical

HS v2017 Code: 470692

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, chemical

HS code 470692 covers a crucial component of the global pulp and paper industry - chemically-processed pulp derived from fibrous cellulosic materials, excluding bamboo, recovered paper/paperboard, and cotton linters. This specialized pulp serves as a fundamental raw material for the production of various paper and paperboard products, playing a vital role in the broader manufacturing and packaging sectors worldwide.

Production process

The production of pulp under HS code 470692 typically involves a chemical pulping process. This process breaks down the cellulosic fibers through the use of chemicals, such as sulfite or kraft (sulfate) solutions, to separate the fibers and remove lignin and other non-cellulosic components. The resulting pulp is then washed, screened, and may undergo further processing, such as bleaching, to meet the specific requirements of end-users.

Production inputs

The main inputs for the production of pulp under HS code 470692 include various fibrous cellulosic materials, such as wood, agricultural residues, and other plant-based sources. Specialized chemical reagents, energy, and water are also essential inputs for the pulping and processing operations. Additionally, machinery and equipment for pulping, screening, and other post-processing steps are necessary for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 470692 is chemically-processed pulp, which is then used as a raw material for the production of a wide range of paper and paperboard products. This pulp may be further processed and combined 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) or 470710 (Recovered (waste and scrap) paper or paperboard), to create various paper and packaging materials.
