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:

  • Products made of paper or paperboard: Including writing paper, printing paper, packaging paper, toilet paper, wallpaper, paper bags, paper boxes, paper cases, etc.
  • Products made of paper pulp or paperboard: For example, corrugated paperboard, paperboard boxes, paperboard tubes, etc.
  • Other paper products: Covers various special-purpose paper products, such as filter paper, insulation paper, sandpaper, etc.

Reason for classification:

The HS code system classifies items based on their material, purpose, and manufacturing method. Codes starting with "48" are primarily classified based on the characteristic that the main material of the item 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 usually 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.
