Harmonized System Code Classification

The first two digits of the HS code "48" represent products made of paper, paper pulp, or paperboard.

Specifically, this classification includes the following main contents:

• Various products made of paper or paperboard: Including writing paper, printing paper, packaging paper, sanitary paper, wallpaper, labels, envelopes, etc.
• Packaging containers made of paper pulp or paperboard: Such as paper boxes, paper cartons, paper tubes, etc.
• Other products made of paper pulp or paperboard: Such as paper plates, paper cups, paper tableware, paper hats, paperboard furniture, etc.

Reason for classification:

This classification is based on material (paper pulp or paperboard) and product type (paper products). In simple terms, any product mainly made of paper pulp or paperboard belongs to this classification.
