Uncoated paper and paperboard (not 4801 or 4803); over 10% by weight of mechanical or chemi-mechanical processed fibre, in rolls

HS v2022 Code: 480261

About uncoated paper and paperboard (not 4801 or 4803); over 10% by weight of mechanical or chemi-mechanical processed fibre, in rolls

HS code 480261 covers a significant segment of the paper and paperboard industry, encompassing uncoated paper and paperboard products that contain over 10% by weight of mechanical or chemi-mechanical processed fibre. These materials are widely used in a variety of applications, from packaging and printing to specialty products, making them an essential component of the global supply chain.

Production process

The production of the materials covered by HS code 480261 typically involves a multi-step process. First, the raw materials, which may include wood pulp, recycled paper, and other fibrous materials, are mechanically or chemically processed to create the desired pulp. This pulp is then formed into sheets or rolls using specialized papermaking machinery, such as Fourdrinier machines or cylinder molds. The sheets or rolls are then dried, calendered, and potentially coated or treated to achieve the desired properties and characteristics.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of the materials covered by HS code 480261 include wood pulp, recycled paper, and other fibrous materials. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery, such as papermaking equipment, drying systems, and finishing equipment. Energy sources, such as electricity and steam, as well as chemicals used in the pulping and papermaking processes, are also important inputs.

Production outputs

The materials produced under HS code 480261 are primarily used in the manufacture of various paper and paperboard products, including 481013 Uncoated kraft paper and paperboard, in rolls or sheets, 481019 Uncoated paper and paperboard, in rolls or sheets, not further worked or processed than as specified in Note 3 to this Chapter, and 481029 Uncoated paper and paperboard, in rolls or sheets, not further worked or processed than as specified in Note 3 to this Chapter, other than the products of heading 48.03. These materials are essential for the production of packaging, printing, and other specialized applications.
