Harmonized System Code Classification

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

Specifically, this classification covers the following main contents:

• Paper, paperboard, and their products: Including writing paper, printing paper, packaging paper, sanitary paper, wallpaper, paper bags, paper boxes, etc.
• Paper pulp products: Including paperboard, paper pulp molded products, etc.
• Other paper products: Including paper tableware, paper diapers, paper tape, paper ropes, etc.

Reason for classification:

The HS code system classifies items based on their material, use, and manufacturing method. Codes starting with "48" are mainly classified based on the common feature that the main material is paper, paper pulp, or paperboard.

In short, as long as the main component of the product is paper, paper pulp, or paperboard, it is generally classified into the "48" category.

If you can provide a more specific HS code (e.g., 4801, 4810, etc.), I can provide a more detailed classification explanation.
