Uncoated paper and paperboard (not 4801 or 4803); over 10% by weight of mechanical or chemi-mechanical processed fibre, in rolls

HS v2017 Code: 480261

About uncoated paper and paperboard (not 4801 or 4803); over 10% by weight of mechanical or chemi-mechanical processed fibre, in rolls

HS code 480261 covers a broad range of uncoated paper and paperboard products that contain more than 10% by weight of mechanical or chemi-mechanical processed fibre. These materials are commonly used in a variety of applications, including packaging, printing, and specialty paper products. The global demand for these materials is driven by factors such as economic growth, urbanization, and the increasing need for sustainable packaging solutions, making this industry an important component of the broader manufacturing and trade landscape.

Production process

The production of the materials covered under HS code 480261 typically involves a multi-step process. The raw materials, which may include wood pulp, recycled paper, and other fibrous materials, are first mechanically or chemically processed to create the desired pulp. This pulp is then formed into sheets or rolls using specialized papermaking machinery, which may include processes such as dewatering, pressing, and drying. The final product may undergo additional finishing steps, such as calendering or coating, to achieve the desired surface characteristics and properties.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of the materials covered under HS code 480261 include wood pulp, recycled paper, and other fibrous materials. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery and equipment, such as papermaking machines, drying systems, and finishing equipment. Energy sources, such as electricity and steam, are also essential for the production process.

Production outputs

The materials produced under HS code 480261 are primarily used in the manufacture of a wide range of paper and paperboard products, including 482010 Corrugated paper and paperboard, 481013 Kraft paper, creped or crinkled, and 481092 Fluting paper. These materials may also be used in the production of specialty paper products, such as 481013 Kraft paper, creped or crinkled and 481092 Fluting paper, which are often used in packaging applications.
