About kraft paper and paperboard; kraftliner, uncoated, unbleached, in rolls or sheets, other than that of heading no. 4802 or 4803

HS code 480411 covers a critical component of the global packaging and paper industry - uncoated, unbleached kraft paper and paperboard. This versatile material, known as kraftliner, is a key input for the production of corrugated boxes, shipping containers, and other packaging solutions. As a durable and cost-effective option, kraftliner plays a vital role in facilitating international trade and logistics, supporting the broader economy through its widespread use across various industries.

Production process

The production of HS 480411 kraftliner involves a multi-step kraft pulping process. First, wood chips, typically from softwood species, are cooked under high temperature and pressure in a chemical solution to extract the cellulose fibers. The resulting brown pulp is then washed, screened, and refined to achieve the desired strength and quality. Finally, the pulp is fed into a paper machine, where it is formed into a continuous web, dried, and wound into rolls or sheets for further processing or distribution.

Production inputs

The primary raw material for HS 480411 kraftliner is softwood pulp, often sourced from pine, spruce, or fir trees. Specialized papermaking machinery, including pulp digesters, refiners, and paper machines, are essential for the production process. Additionally, chemicals such as sodium hydroxide and sodium sulfide are used in the kraft pulping stage to break down the wood and extract the cellulose fibers.

Production outputs

HS 480411 kraftliner is a versatile material that finds widespread use in the packaging industry. It is a key input for the production of 482310 Boxes and cartons, of corrugated paper or paperboard, 481910 Cartons, boxes and cases, of corrugated paper or paperboard, and other 482390 Other articles of paper, paperboard, cellulose wadding or webs of cellulose fibers. The uncoated, unbleached nature of this kraftliner makes it a cost-effective and durable option for a variety of packaging applications.
