HS v2022 Code: 480269

About uncoated paper and paperboard (not 4801 or 4803); over 10% by weight of mechanical or chemi-mechanical processed fibre, other than rolls, other than sheets 435mm or less by 297mm or less (unfolded)

HS code 480269 covers a broad range of uncoated paper and paperboard products that contain more than 10% by weight of mechanical or chemi-mechanical processed fibre. These materials are used in a variety of applications, from packaging and printing to specialty products. As a key component in many industries, this segment plays an important role in the global economy, facilitating the movement of goods and information.

Production process

The production of the materials covered under HS code 480269 typically involves mechanical or chemi-mechanical pulping processes. These techniques break down the cellulose fibres in wood or other plant-based raw materials to create the desired paper or paperboard. The resulting pulp is then formed into sheets, dried, and potentially coated or treated to achieve specific properties and characteristics.

Production inputs

The main inputs for the production of HS code 480269 materials include wood pulp, recycled paper and paperboard, as well as various chemical additives and processing aids. Specialized machinery, such as pulp mills, paper machines, and finishing equipment, are also essential for the manufacturing process.

Production outputs

The outputs of HS code 480269 include a wide range of uncoated paper and paperboard products, such as packaging materials, printing and writing papers, and specialty items. These materials may be further processed or consumed by industries covered under other HS codes, such as 4802 (Uncoated paper and paperboard, of a kind used for writing, printing or other graphic purposes, and non-perforated punch-cards and punch-tape paper, in rolls or rectangular (including square) sheets, of any size, other than paper of heading 4801 or 4803; handmade paper and paperboard), 4804 Uncoated kraft paper and paperboard, in rolls or sheets, other than that of heading 4802 or 4803, and 4805 Other uncoated paper and paperboard, in rolls or sheets, not further worked or processed than as specified in Note 3 to this Chapter.

Revisions to 480269
