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

HS code 480419 covers a crucial segment of the paper and paperboard industry, specifically the production of kraft paper and paperboard known as 'kraftliner'. These materials are widely used in the manufacturing of corrugated boxes, shipping containers, and other packaging solutions. The demand for kraft paper and paperboard is closely tied to the growth of global trade and e-commerce, making this industry an integral part of the broader economy.

Production process

The production of kraft paper and paperboard under HS code 480419 involves a multi-step process. It begins with the pulping of wood or other cellulosic fibers, which are then chemically treated using the kraft process to produce strong, durable fibers. These fibers are then formed into sheets, dried, and may undergo additional processing such as bleaching or coating to meet specific requirements.

Production inputs

The main inputs for the production of kraft paper and paperboard under HS code 480419 include wood pulp, chemicals used in the kraft process (such as sodium hydroxide and sodium sulfide), and specialized machinery for pulping, sheet formation, and finishing. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity and steam, are essential for the various stages of production.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 480419 is kraft paper and paperboard, which are used in a wide range of applications, including the production of 482100 corrugated paper and paperboard, 481910 cartons, boxes, and cases, and 481940 sacks and bags. These materials are also consumed by industries producing 481810 toilet paper, 481820 handkerchiefs, cleansing, or facial tissues, and 481830 tablecloths and serviettes.
