Harmonized System Code Classification

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

Specifically, this classification includes the following main contents:

• Various products made from paper or cardboard: Including writing paper, printing paper, packaging paper, toilet paper, wallpaper, labels, envelopes, etc.
• Packaging materials made from pulp or cardboard: Such as paper boxes, paper boxes, paper tubes, etc.
• Other products made from pulp or cardboard: Such as 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 classification starting with "48" is mainly based on the characteristic that the main material of the item is paper, pulp, or cardboard.

In short, as long as the product's main component is paper, pulp, or cardboard, and it is a finished product, it is usually classified into the "48" category.

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