Paper pulp, paper or paperboard; bobbins, spools, cops and similar supports, of a kind used for winding textile yarn (whether or not perforated or hardened)

HS code 482210 covers a diverse range of paper-based products that are essential for various industries, particularly the textile sector. These products, which include paper pulp, paper or paperboard bobbins, spools, cops, and similar supports, play a crucial role in the winding and processing of textile yarns. This industry is a vital component of the broader paper and packaging supply chain, contributing to the efficient operation of numerous manufacturing and logistics processes.

The production of the items covered under HS code 482210 typically involves a combination of paper-making and specialized manufacturing techniques. Paper pulp is produced through the mechanical or chemical processing of wood or other cellulosic materials, which are then formed into sheets or rolls of paper or paperboard. The bobbins, spools, cops, and similar supports are then manufactured by shaping and molding the paper or paperboard into the desired forms, often using automated machinery and precision tooling.

The main inputs required for the production of items under HS code 482210 include raw materials such as wood pulp, recycled paper, and other cellulosic fibers. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery and equipment for the paper-making and shaping processes, as well as various adhesives, coatings, and other materials to ensure the durability and functionality of the final products.

The primary outputs of the industry covered by HS code 482210 are the paper pulp, paper or paperboard bobbins, spools, cops, and similar supports used for winding textile yarn. These products are then consumed by various 500100 Silk(500100 - Silk) and 510000 Wool, fine or coarse animal hair; horsehair yarn and woven fabric(510000 - Wool, fine or coarse animal hair; horsehair yarn and woven fabric) industries, as well as other textile manufacturing and processing sectors that require efficient yarn handling and storage solutions.
