About paper and paperboard; multi-ply, coated with kaolin or other inorganic substances only, for non-graphic purposes, n.e.c. in heading no. 4810, in rolls or sheets

HS code 481092 covers a specific type of paper and paperboard product that is multi-ply and coated with kaolin or other inorganic substances. This material is primarily used for non-graphic purposes, meaning it is not intended for printing or other graphic applications. The production and trade of these specialized paper products play a crucial role in various industries, from packaging to construction, contributing to the broader economy.

Production process

The production of paper and paperboard under HS code 481092 typically involves a multi-step process. First, the raw materials, which may include wood pulp, recycled paper, and various inorganic coatings, are combined and processed into a multi-ply paper or paperboard. The material is then coated with kaolin or other inorganic substances, which can improve its surface properties, such as smoothness and opacity. Finally, the coated paper or paperboard is cut and prepared for various non-graphic applications.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 481092 products include wood pulp, recycled paper, and inorganic coating materials like kaolin. Additionally, specialized machinery and equipment, such as paper-making machines, coating applicators, and cutting/slitting machines, are essential for the manufacturing process. Energy sources, such as electricity and steam, are also necessary to power the production facilities.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 481092 is multi-ply paper and paperboard that is coated with kaolin or other inorganic substances. These materials are commonly used in a variety of non-graphic applications, such as 481013 Paperboard, coated with kaolin or other inorganic substances, in rolls or sheets, 481019 Paperboard, coated with kaolin or other inorganic substances, in rolls or sheets, n.e.c. in heading no. 4810, and 481092 Paper and paperboard; multi-ply, coated with kaolin or other inorganic substances only, for non-graphic purposes, n.e.c. in heading no. 4810, in rolls or sheets.
