About paper and paperboard; sulphite wrapping paper, uncoated, in rolls or sheets

HS code 480530 covers the classification of sulphite wrapping paper, an essential material in the global import/export industry. Sulphite wrapping paper is a type of uncoated paper and paperboard that is widely used for packaging, shipping, and protecting a variety of goods during transportation. This industry plays a crucial role in facilitating international trade and ensuring the safe delivery of products across borders.

Production process

The production of sulphite wrapping paper involves a multi-step process. First, wood pulp is chemically treated using the sulphite process, which involves the use of sulfur dioxide and other chemicals to break down the lignin in the wood. The resulting pulp is then formed into sheets and dried to create the base material. Finally, the paper is cut, trimmed, and prepared for distribution in rolls or sheets.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of sulphite wrapping paper include wood pulp, chemicals such as sulfur dioxide, and specialized papermaking machinery. The wood pulp is typically sourced from sustainable forestry operations, while the chemicals and equipment are supplied by specialized manufacturers. Additionally, the industry relies on a reliable energy supply and a skilled workforce to operate the production facilities.

Production outputs

Sulphite wrapping paper produced under HS code 480530 is primarily used as a packaging material for a wide range of goods, including 4802 (Paper and paperboard, not coated, of a kind used for writing, printing or other graphic purposes, and non-perforated punch-cards and punch-tape paper, in rolls or rectangular (including square) sheets, of any size), 4804 Kraft paper and paperboard, not coated or impregnated, in rolls or sheets, other than that of heading 4802 or 4803, and 4811 (Paper, paperboard, cellulose wadding and webs of cellulose fibers, coated, impregnated, covered, surface-colored, surface-decorated or printed, in rolls or rectangular (including square) sheets, of any size).
