About uncoated paper and paperboard (not 4801 or 4803); printing, writing or graphic, 10% or less by weight of mechanical or chemi-mechanical processed fibre, weighing more than 150g/m2

HS code 480258 covers a specific type of uncoated paper and paperboard used for printing, writing, or graphic purposes. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader paper and pulp sector, providing essential materials for a wide range of applications, from commercial printing to educational resources and packaging. The demand for these products is closely tied to economic activity and the evolving needs of various industries.

Production process

The production of the paper and paperboard covered by HS code 480258 typically involves a multi-step process. It begins with the procurement of raw materials, such as wood pulp, which is then processed through mechanical or chemical means to create the desired fiber composition. The fibers are then formed into sheets, dried, and potentially coated or treated to enhance specific properties. The final products are then cut, trimmed, and packaged for distribution to various end-users.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of the paper and paperboard under HS code 480258 include wood pulp, both mechanical and chemical, as well as various chemicals and additives used for processing and finishing the material. Specialized machinery, such as paper machines and finishing equipment, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity and steam, are necessary to power the production facilities.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 480258 is uncoated paper and paperboard that is suitable for printing, writing, or graphic purposes.
