About paper and paperboard; sacks and bags of paper, paperboard, cellulose wadding or fibres, having a base of a width of 40cm or more

HS code 481930 covers the production and trade of paper and paperboard sacks and bags with a base width of 40cm or more. This industry plays a vital role in the global supply chain, providing essential packaging solutions for a wide range of goods, from agricultural products to industrial materials. As a key component of the broader 4819 Paper and paperboard; articles of paper pulp, of paper or of paperboard industry, this code represents a significant segment of the global economy.

Production process

The production of paper and paperboard sacks and bags under HS code 481930 typically involves a multi-step process. First, the raw materials, such as wood pulp, cellulose fibers, or recycled paper, are processed and converted into paper or paperboard. The paper or paperboard is then cut, folded, and sealed to form the desired sack or bag shape. Specialized machinery and equipment, such as bag-making machines and sewing machines, are used to ensure consistent quality and efficiency in the manufacturing process.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of goods under HS code 481930 include wood pulp, cellulose fibers, and recycled paper. These raw materials are essential for the production of the paper and paperboard used in the sacks and bags. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery and equipment, such as bag-making machines and sewing machines, to facilitate the manufacturing process. Energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are also necessary to power the production facilities.

Production outputs

The primary output of the industry covered by HS code 481930 is paper and paperboard sacks and bags with a base width of 40cm or more.
