Harmonized System Code Classification

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

Specifically, this category includes the following:

• Rolls or sheets of paper or paperboard: Including various types of writing paper, printing paper, packaging paper, corrugated paperboard, etc.
• Paper products: For example, newspapers, books, magazines, brochures, calendars, envelopes, paper bags, paper boxes, toilet paper, paper towels, napkins, wallpaper, labels, etc.
• Products made of paper pulp or paperboard: For example, paper plates, paper cups, paper trays, paperboard boxes, paperboard tubes, etc.

Reason for classification:

This category is classified based on the material (paper, paper pulp, or paperboard). As long as the main component of the product is paper, paper pulp, or paperboard, and it has undergone a certain processing, it belongs to this category.

In short, all products based on paper may be classified into Chapter 48.

To more accurately determine the specific HS code for a product, further information about the product's specific components, use, processing methods, etc., is needed.
