About paper and paperboard; sulphite wrapping paper, uncoated, in rolls or sheets

HS code 480530 covers the classification of sulphite wrapping paper, an essential material in the global import/export industry. Sulphite wrapping paper is a type of uncoated paper and paperboard that is widely used for packaging, protecting, and transporting a variety of goods across international borders. This industry plays a crucial role in facilitating the smooth flow of trade and commerce, enabling businesses to safely and efficiently move their products around the world.

Production process

The production of sulphite wrapping paper involves a multi-step process. First, wood pulp is chemically treated using the sulphite process, which involves the use of sulfur dioxide and other chemicals to break down the wood fibers. The resulting pulp is then formed into sheets and dried to create the base material. Finally, the paper is cut, trimmed, and prepared for distribution in rolls or sheets.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of sulphite wrapping paper include wood pulp, chemicals such as sulfur dioxide, and specialized papermaking machinery. The wood pulp is typically sourced from sustainable forestry operations, while the chemicals and equipment are supplied by specialized manufacturers. Additionally, the industry relies on a reliable energy supply and a skilled workforce to operate the production facilities.
