HS code 480449 covers a specific type of kraft paper and paperboard that is uncoated and has a weight between 150g/m2 and 225g/m2. This material is widely used in the packaging and industrial sectors, serving as a versatile and durable substrate for a variety of applications. As a key component in the global supply chain, this industry plays an important role in facilitating the movement of goods across international borders.

Production process

The production of the kraft paper and paperboard covered under HS code 480449 typically involves a multi-step process. First, wood pulp is chemically treated using the kraft process to produce strong, brown-colored fibers. These fibers are then formed into a continuous web and dried to the desired weight and thickness. The resulting paper or paperboard may then undergo additional processing, such as calendering or coating, depending on the specific end-use requirements.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 480449 materials include wood pulp, chemicals used in the kraft process (such as sodium hydroxide and sodium sulfide), and energy sources to power the manufacturing equipment. Additionally, specialized machinery, such as paper machines and finishing equipment, are essential for the efficient production of these kraft paper and paperboard products.

Production outputs

The kraft paper and paperboard covered under HS code 480449 are commonly used as packaging materials, particularly for industrial and commercial applications. These products may be further processed or converted into a wide range of items, including 482010 Corrugated paper and paperboard, 482020 Sacks and bags, of paper, and 482390 Other articles of paper and paperboard, n.e.c..
