The HS code system classifies goods according to their material, use, and manufacturing method. Codes starting with "48" are mainly classified based on the characteristic that the main material of the item is paper, paper pulp, or paperboard.

In simple terms, as long as the product's main component is paper, paper pulp, or paperboard, and it is a finished product, it is usually classified under the "48" category.
