HS v2017 Code: 480269

About uncoated paper and paperboard (not 4801 or 4803); over 10% by weight of mechanical or chemi-mechanical processed fibre, other than rolls, other than sheets 435mm or less by 297mm or less (unfolded)

HS code 480269 covers a wide range of uncoated paper and paperboard products that contain more than 10% by weight of mechanical or chemi-mechanical processed fibre. These materials are used in a variety of applications, from packaging and printing to specialty products. As a key component in the global paper and pulp industry, this classification plays a vital role in supporting industries across the manufacturing and retail sectors.

Production process

The production of the materials covered under HS code 480269 typically involves mechanical or chemi-mechanical pulping processes. These techniques break down wood or other cellulosic fibres into a pulp, which is then formed into sheets or rolls of paper or paperboard. The specific production methods can vary depending on the desired properties of the final product, such as thickness, strength, and surface finish.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 480269 materials include wood pulp, recycled paper, and various chemical additives. Specialized machinery, such as pulp mills, paper machines, and finishing equipment, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity and steam, are necessary to power the production facilities.

Production outputs

The outputs of HS code 480269 include a wide range of uncoated paper and paperboard products, which can be used in a variety of applications. These materials may be consumed by industries such as 481013 Uncoated kraft paper and paperboard, in rolls or sheets, 481019 Uncoated paper and paperboard, in rolls or sheets, n.e.c. in heading 4810, and 481190 Other paper, paperboard, cellulose wadding and webs of cellulose fibres, cut to size or shape; other articles of paper pulp, paper, paperboard, cellulose wadding or webs of cellulose fibres, among others.
