About paper, paperboard, cellulose wadding and webs of soft cellulose fibres; coated, impregnated, covered, surface-decorated or surface-coloured, n.e.c. in heading no. 4811, in rolls or sheets

HS code 481190 covers a diverse range of paper and paperboard products that have been coated, impregnated, covered, or surface-decorated. These materials are widely used across various industries, from packaging and printing to construction and electronics. They play a crucial role in the global economy, facilitating the efficient transportation, storage, and presentation of goods and information.

Production process

The production of the materials covered under HS code 481190 typically involves a combination of papermaking and finishing processes. Paper and paperboard are first manufactured using traditional methods, such as pulping, refining, and sheet formation. These base materials are then subjected to various coating, impregnation, or surface treatment techniques to impart specific properties, such as water resistance, printability, or enhanced aesthetics.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 481190 materials include pulp, cellulose fibers, and a range of coating and treatment chemicals. Specialized machinery, such as paper coating and laminating equipment, is also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity and steam, are necessary to power the production facilities.

Production outputs

The diverse range of products covered under HS code 481190 are used as inputs for a wide variety of downstream industries. These materials can be found in 481013 (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), 481031 Kraft paper and paperboard, other than that of a kind used for writing, printing or other graphic purposes, bleached uniformly throughout the mass and of which more than 95% by weight of the total fibre content consists of wood fibres obtained by a chemical process, and 481141 Self-adhesive paper and paperboard, in rolls or sheets, among others.
