About kraft paper and paperboard; coated with kaolin or other inorganic substances only, for non-graphic purposes, n.e.c. in item no. 4810.31 and 4810.32, in rolls or sheets

HS code 481039 covers a specific type of kraft paper and paperboard that is coated with kaolin or other inorganic substances. This material is primarily used for non-graphic purposes, such as packaging and industrial applications, rather than for printing or writing. The 481039 classification plays a crucial role in the broader paper and pulp industry, which is a significant contributor to global trade and economic activity.

Production process

The production of 481039 kraft paper and paperboard involves a multi-step process. First, kraft pulp is produced from wood or other cellulosic fibers through a chemical pulping process. The pulp is then formed into a paper or paperboard web, which is then coated with a layer of kaolin or other inorganic substances. The coated material is then dried, calendered, and cut to the desired size and specifications.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of 481039 kraft paper and paperboard include wood or other cellulosic raw materials, chemicals used in the pulping and coating processes, and specialized machinery such as pulp mills, paper machines, and coating equipment. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity and steam, are necessary for the various stages of production.

Production outputs

The primary output of the 481039 industry is coated kraft paper and paperboard, which is used in a variety of non-graphic applications, such as 481013 Uncoated kraft paper and paperboard, in rolls or sheets, other than that of heading 48.02 or 48.03, 481014 Uncoated kraft paper and paperboard, in rolls or sheets, other than that of heading 48.02 or 48.03, and 481092 (Kraft paper and paperboard, coated, impregnated or covered with plastics (excluding adhesives), in rolls or sheets). These materials are often used for packaging, industrial applications, and other non-printing purposes.
