About uncoated kraft paper and paperboard, in rolls or sheets, other than that of heading no. 4802 or 4803

HS code 4804 covers uncoated kraft paper and paperboard, which are essential materials in various industries, including packaging, construction, and manufacturing. This versatile product category plays a crucial role in the global economy, providing a sustainable and cost-effective solution for a wide range of applications. As a key component in the import/export supply chain, 4804 materials facilitate the safe and efficient transportation of goods worldwide.

Production process

The production of uncoated kraft paper and paperboard under HS code 4804 typically involves a multi-step process. It begins with the pulping of wood or other cellulosic fibers, which are then processed into a pulp. The pulp is then refined, bleached (if necessary), and formed into a continuous web or sheet using specialized papermaking machinery. The resulting material is then dried, calendered, and cut to the desired size and specifications before being packaged and distributed.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the production of HS code 4804 materials include wood pulp, recycled paper fibers, and various chemical additives. Machinery such as pulp mills, papermaking machines, and finishing equipment are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, energy sources, water, and skilled labor are important resources required for the efficient production of uncoated kraft paper and paperboard.

Production outputs

The main outputs of the HS code 4804 industry are uncoated kraft paper and paperboard, which are used in a wide range of applications. These materials are often consumed by industries such as 4819 Cartons, boxes, cases, bags and other packing containers, of paper, paperboard, cellulose wadding or webs of cellulose fibers, 4810 (Paper and paperboard, coated on one or both sides with kaolin (China clay) or other inorganic substances, with or without a binder, and with no other coating, whether or not surface-coloured, surface-decorated or printed, in rolls or rectangular (including square) sheets, of any size), and 4811 (Paper, paperboard, cellulose wadding and webs of cellulose fibers, coated, impregnated, covered, surface-coloured, surface-decorated or printed, in rolls or rectangular (including square) sheets, of any size), among others.
