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

HS code 480451 covers a specific type of kraft paper and paperboard that is uncoated, unbleached, and weighs 225g/m2 or more. This material is widely used in the packaging industry, particularly for the production of corrugated boxes, bags, and other industrial applications. As a key component in the supply chain, this industry plays a vital role in facilitating global trade and commerce.

Production process

The production of 480451 kraft paper and paperboard involves a multi-step process. First, wood pulp is chemically treated using the kraft process to produce strong, durable fibers. These fibers are then formed into a continuous web and pressed to the desired thickness and weight. The paper is then dried, calendered, and cut to the required size and shape, without any additional coatings or treatments.

Production inputs

The main inputs for the 480451 industry include wood pulp, chemicals used in the kraft process, and specialized papermaking machinery. Wood pulp, typically sourced from softwood or hardwood trees, is the primary raw material. Chemicals such as sodium hydroxide and sodium sulfide are used to break down the wood fibers and remove lignin. Additionally, the industry relies on paper machines, calenders, and other equipment to efficiently manufacture the final product.

Production outputs

The primary output of the 480451 industry is uncoated, unbleached kraft paper and paperboard weighing 225g/m2 or more. This material is commonly used in the production of 482100 corrugated boxes, 482310 sacks and bags, and other industrial packaging applications. The output of this industry may also be consumed by manufacturers of 481013 composite paper and paperboard, 481019 other paper and paperboard, and 481190 other articles of paper and paperboard.
