Harmonized System Code Classification

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

Specifically, this classification includes the following main contents:

• Paper, paperboard, and their products: Including various types of writing paper, printing paper, packaging paper, toilet paper, wallpaper, paper bags, paper boxes, etc.
• Paper pulp products: Including paper pulp boards, paper pulp molded products, etc.
• Paperboard products: Including corrugated paperboard, paper boxes, paper tubes, etc.

Reason for classification:

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

In simple terms, if your product is mainly made of paper, paper pulp, or paperboard, it likely falls under a subcategory of the HS code "48".

To more accurately determine which specific subcategory your product belongs to, further information about the product's composition, use, and manufacturing process is needed.
