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, toilet paper, wallpaper, labels, envelopes, etc.
• Packaging materials made of paper pulp or paperboard: For example, cardboard boxes, paper boxes, paper tubes, etc.
• Other products made of paper pulp or paperboard: For example, paper plates, paper cups, paper towels, paper diapers, etc.

Reason for classification:

The HS code system classifies items based on their material, use, and manufacturing method. The 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 short, any product whose main component is paper, paper pulp, or paperboard and is a finished product is generally classified into the "48" category.

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

Explanation of the first four digits:

HS code 4804 represents the following classification and meaning:

Uncoated kraft paper and paperboard in rolls or sheets, excluding goods under heading 4802 or 4803.

Explanation of the six digits:

Classification: Uncoated kraft paper and paperboard in rolls or sheets, not under headings 4802 or 4803.

Specific meaning: Refers to other kraft paper and paperboard with a weight of less than or equal to 150 grams per square meter, further divided into the "other" category, and then further divided into "other".

Explanation of the 8–10 digits:

HS code: 4804392000
Classification: Uncoated kraft paper and paperboard in rolls or sheets, other kraft paper and paperboard not under headings 4802 or 4803: -> Other kraft paper and paperboard with a weight of less than 150 g/m² or less: -> Other: -> Capacitor paper
Explanation: This HS code belongs to the category of uncoated kraft paper and paperboard. Specifically, it refers to other kraft paper and paperboard with a weight of less than 150 g/m², ultimately classified as capacitor paper.

Example products: - Capacitor paper (used in electrical capacitors) - Light-weight kraft paper for packaging - Paper used in industrial applications - Paper sheets for technical uses - Paper materials used in electronics manufacturing
