About kraft paper and paperboard; uncoated, unbleached, weight more than 150g/m2 but less than 225g/m2, in rolls or sheets, other than that of heading no. 4802 or 4803

HS code 480441 covers a specific type of kraft paper and paperboard that is uncoated, unbleached, and has a weight ranging from 150g/m2 to 225g/m2. This material is widely used in various industries, including packaging, construction, and industrial applications, making it an essential component of the global supply chain. Its versatility and durability make it a valuable resource for businesses and consumers alike.

Production process

The production of the kraft paper and paperboard covered by HS code 480441 typically involves a multi-step process. First, wood pulp is chemically treated using the kraft process, which involves the use of sodium hydroxide and sodium sulfide to break down the lignin in the wood. The resulting pulp is then bleached and formed into sheets or rolls using specialized papermaking machinery. The final product is then cut and packaged for distribution.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of the kraft paper and paperboard covered by HS code 480441 include wood pulp, chemicals (such as sodium hydroxide and sodium sulfide), and specialized papermaking machinery. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity or steam, are necessary to power the production process. The availability and cost of these inputs can significantly impact the overall production and pricing of this material.

Production outputs

The kraft paper and paperboard covered by HS code 480441 is primarily used as a raw material for the production of various packaging materials, such as 481910 Cartons, boxes and cases, of corrugated paper or paperboard, 481920 Folding cartons, boxes and cases, of non-corrugated paper or paperboard, and 481930 Sacks and bags, having a base of a width of 40 cm or more. It is also used in the construction industry for applications such as 681190 Articles of cement, of concrete or of artificial stone, not elsewhere specified or included, and in various industrial processes.
