About paper and paperboard; multi-ply, coated with kaolin or other inorganic substances only, for non-graphic purposes, n.e.c. in heading no. 4810, in rolls or sheets

HS code 481092 covers a specific type of paper and paperboard that is multi-ply and coated with kaolin or other inorganic substances. This material is primarily used for non-graphic purposes, such as packaging, insulation, and other industrial applications. As a versatile and widely-used product, the industry described by this code plays a crucial role in various sectors of the global economy, from manufacturing to logistics and retail.

Production process

The production of paper and paperboard covered by HS code 481092 typically involves a multi-step process. First, the raw materials, including pulp, kaolin, and other inorganic substances, are prepared and mixed. The resulting mixture is then fed into a paper machine, where it is formed into a continuous web and dried. The dried paper is then coated with the inorganic substances, often using a coating machine, to create the desired multi-ply and coated structure. Finally, the finished product is cut, trimmed, and prepared for distribution.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of paper and paperboard under HS code 481092 include wood pulp, kaolin, and other inorganic coating materials. Specialized machinery, such as paper machines and coating equipment, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity or steam, are needed to power the production facilities.

Production outputs

The primary output of the industry described by HS code 481092 is multi-ply, coated paper and paperboard for non-graphic purposes. This material is widely used in various industries, including 481013 (Paper and paperboard, coated on one or both sides with kaolin (China clay) or other inorganic substances, with or without a binder, and with no other coating, whether or not surface-coloured, surface-decorated or printed, in rolls or rectangular (including square) sheets, of any size), 481019 (Paper and paperboard, coated on one or both sides with kaolin (China clay) or other inorganic substances, with or without a binder, and with no other coating, whether or not surface-coloured, surface-decorated or printed, in rolls or rectangular (including square) sheets, of any size, n.e.c. in heading no. 4810), and 481190 (Paper, paperboard, cellulose wadding and webs of cellulose fibres, coated, impregnated, covered, surface-coloured, surface-decorated or printed, in rolls or rectangular (including square) sheets, of any size, other than goods of the kind described in heading no. 4803, 4809 or 4810).
