The first two digits of the HS code "48" represent paper and paperboard products, pulp, or paperboard products.
Specifically, this classification includes the following main contents:
- Paper, paperboard and their products: Including writing paper, printing paper, packaging paper, toilet paper, wall paper, paper bags, paper boxes, etc.
- Pulp products: Including pulp boards, pulp molded products, etc.
- Other paper products: Including paper tableware, paper diapers, paper tape, 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, pulp, or paperboard.
In short, as long as the main component of the product is paper, pulp, or paperboard, it is usually classified into the "48" category.
If you can provide a more specific HS code (e.g., 4801, 4810, etc.), I can give you a more detailed explanation.

This page saved me a lot of time. The HS code information and tariff rates for plastic doors are exactly what I needed for my export paperwork.
The trade details and tariff info were accurate and easy to understand. I found the section about exporting to the US particularly useful.
Very impressed with the detailed explanation of HS Code 3925. This helped me understand the classification of my plastic doors for export.
The page explained the 5% tariff rate clearly, but I wish there were more examples of similar products under the same HS code.
