About composite paper and paperboard, (made by sticking layers together with an adhesive), not surface-coated or impregnated, whether or not internally reinforced, in rolls or sheets

HS code 4807 covers a diverse range of composite paper and paperboard products that are manufactured by adhering multiple layers together. These materials find widespread use across various industries, serving as essential components in packaging, construction, and a multitude of other applications. As a key segment within the broader paper and pulp industry, the production of 4807 composite materials plays a vital role in global trade and the overall economy.

Production process

The production of HS code 4807 composite paper and paperboard typically involves the adhesive bonding of multiple layers of paper or paperboard. This process may utilize a variety of adhesives, including starch-based, synthetic, or natural adhesives, depending on the specific requirements of the final product. The layered materials may also be reinforced internally with fibers or other strengthening elements to enhance their durability and performance characteristics.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 4807 composite paper and paperboard include raw paper or paperboard materials, adhesives, and any reinforcing elements. The paper and paperboard layers may be sourced from various grades, such as 4801 Newsprint, 4802 Uncoated paper and paperboard, or 4805 Other uncoated paper and paperboard. The adhesives used can range from natural starch-based formulations to synthetic polymers, depending on the desired properties of the final composite material.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of HS code 4807 are composite paper and paperboard products, which are then consumed by a wide range of industries. These materials may be used in the production of 4819 Cartons, boxes, cases, bags, and other packing containers, of paper, paperboard, cellulose wadding or webs of cellulose fibers, 4810 (Paper and paperboard, coated on one or both sides with kaolin (China clay) or other inorganic substances, with or without a binder, and with no other coating, whether or not surface-coloured, surface-decorated or printed, in rolls or rectangular (including square) sheets, of any size), or 4811 (Paper, paperboard, cellulose wadding and webs of cellulose fibers, coated, impregnated, covered, surface-coloured, surface-decorated or printed, in rolls or rectangular (including square) sheets, of any size), among other applications.
