About paper and paperboard; uncoated, weight 225/m2 or more, in rolls or sheets, n.e.c. in heading no. 4805

HS code 480593 covers a broad range of uncoated paper and paperboard products that weigh 225 grams per square meter or more. These materials are widely used in various industries, including packaging, printing, and construction, making them an essential component of the global supply chain. As a versatile and durable material, paper and paperboard classified under this code play a crucial role in the import and export activities of many countries.

Production process

The production of paper and paperboard under HS code 480593 typically involves a multi-step process. It begins with the pulping of raw materials, such as wood, recycled paper, or other cellulosic fibers, to create a pulp slurry. This pulp is then fed into a paper machine, where it is dewatered, pressed, and dried to form a continuous sheet. The sheet is then cut and processed into the desired size and specifications, often including additional treatments or coatings to enhance its properties.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of paper and paperboard under HS code 480593 include various types of cellulosic fibers, such as wood pulp, recycled paper, and other plant-based materials. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery, including paper machines, calenders, and finishing equipment, as well as chemicals and additives used for sizing, coating, and other processing steps.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the industry covered by HS code 480593 are uncoated paper and paperboard products, which are then used as inputs for a wide range of downstream industries. These materials may be further processed or converted into 482110 Corrugated paper and paperboard, 481013 Kraft paper and paperboard, or other specialized paper-based products. The versatility of these materials makes them essential for industries such as 481920 Folding cartons, boxes and cases, of non-corrugated paper or paperboard, 481810 Toilet paper, handkerchiefs, cleansing or facial tissues and towels, and 481940 Sacks and bags, having a base of a width of 40 cm or more, among others.
