Pulp; of fibrous cellulosic material, other than of bamboo or fibres derived from recovered (waste and scrap) paper or paperboard or from cotton linters pulp, chemical

HS v2022 Code: 470692

About pulp; of fibrous cellulosic material, other than of bamboo or fibres derived from recovered (waste and scrap) paper or paperboard or from cotton linters pulp, chemical

HS code 470692 covers a critical component of the global pulp and paper industry - chemical pulp derived from fibrous cellulosic materials other than bamboo or recycled paper/paperboard. This specialized pulp serves as a key raw material for the production of various paper and paperboard products, playing a vital role in meeting the world's growing demand for sustainable packaging, printing, and writing materials.

Production process

The production of chemical pulp under HS code 470692 typically involves a multi-step process. First, the raw fibrous cellulosic materials, such as wood, are mechanically or chemically broken down into individual fibers. These fibers are then subjected to chemical treatment, often using sulfate or sulfite processes, to remove lignin and other non-cellulosic components. The resulting pulp is then washed, screened, and sometimes bleached to achieve the desired properties and quality.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of chemical pulp under HS code 470692 include the raw fibrous cellulosic materials, such as 440110 Wood in chips or particles, 440121 Wood in the rough, and 470100 Mechanical wood pulp. Additionally, the production process requires various chemicals, such as sulfur compounds, as well as specialized machinery and equipment for the pulping, washing, and screening operations.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 470692 is chemical pulp, which is then used as a key input for the production of a wide range of paper and paperboard products, including 480100 Newsprint, 480400 Kraft paper and paperboard, and 481013 Carbonless paper. This pulp may also be further processed or blended with other types of pulp to create specialized paper and packaging materials.
