About kraft paper and paperboard; uncoated, weight 225g/m2 or more, bleached uniformly throughout, more than 95% of total fibre content consists of chemically processed wood fibres, in rolls or sheets

HS code 480452 covers a specific type of kraft paper and paperboard that is uncoated, weighs 225g/m2 or more, is bleached uniformly throughout, and has more than 95% of its total fiber content consisting of chemically processed wood fibers. This type of paper and paperboard is widely used in various industries, including packaging, printing, and industrial applications, making it an important component of the global import/export trade.

Production process

The production of the paper and paperboard covered under HS code 480452 typically involves a multi-step process. First, wood pulp is chemically processed to extract the cellulose fibers. These fibers are then bleached to achieve the desired uniform whiteness. The fibers are then formed into a sheet and pressed to the required weight and thickness, resulting in the final kraft paper or paperboard product.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of the goods covered under HS code 480452 include wood pulp, chemicals for the pulping and bleaching processes, and specialized papermaking machinery. The wood pulp is typically sourced from softwood or hardwood trees, and the chemicals used can include sodium hydroxide, sodium sulfide, and chlorine-based bleaching agents.

Production outputs

The kraft paper and paperboard produced under HS code 480452 is primarily used in the manufacturing of various packaging materials, such as 481910 Cartons, boxes and cases, of corrugated paper or paperboard, 481920 Folding cartons, boxes and cases, of non-corrugated paper or paperboard, and 481930 Sacks and bags, having a base of a width of 40 cm or more. Additionally, this type of paper and paperboard may be used in the production of 481190 Other paper, paperboard, cellulose wadding and webs of cellulose fibers, coated, impregnated, covered, surface-coloured, surface-decorated or printed, in rolls or sheets, n.e.c. in Chapter 48 for various industrial and commercial applications.
