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

HS code 480421 covers a crucial segment of the paper and paperboard industry, specifically the production of uncoated, unbleached sack kraft paper. This type of paper is widely used in the manufacturing of durable, high-strength bags and sacks, which are essential for the transportation and storage of a variety of goods, from agricultural products to industrial materials. As a key component in the global supply chain, the 480421 industry plays a vital role in facilitating international trade and commerce.

Production process

The production of sack kraft paper under HS code 480421 involves a multi-step process. The primary raw material is wood pulp, which undergoes a kraft pulping process to extract the cellulose fibers. These fibers are then processed through a paper machine, where they are formed into a continuous sheet, dried, and calendered to achieve the desired thickness and smoothness. The paper is then cut and rolled for distribution and further processing by end-users.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of sack kraft paper under HS code 480421 include wood pulp, which serves as the primary raw material, as well as various chemicals and additives used in the pulping and paper-making processes. Additionally, specialized machinery, such as paper machines, calenders, and cutting equipment, are essential for the efficient and high-quality production of this type of paper.

Production outputs

The primary output of the 480421 industry is uncoated, unbleached sack kraft paper, which is then used in the manufacture of durable bags and sacks. These products are widely consumed by industries such as 440000 Agriculture and Forestry, 230000 Food and Beverage, and 260000 Chemicals, where they are used for the packaging and transportation of a wide range of goods.
