Harmonized System Code Classification

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

Specifically, this classification includes the following main contents:

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

Reason for classification:

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