Chapter 48: Paper and paperboard
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 4822 when importing bobbins, spools, or cops made from paper pulp, paper, or paperboard, such as those used for winding textile yarn. For example, if you're bringing in spools that hold cotton thread, this heading applies.
When deciding between the HS-6 lines under this heading, consider the intended use of the product. HS-6 482210 covers supports specifically designed for winding textile yarn, while HS-6 482290 includes other types not meant for textiles, such as those used in packaging or other industrial applications.
If your product is a paper spool that is perforated or hardened but not intended for yarn winding, you would classify it under HS-6 482290. On the other hand, if it is designed for yarn, even if it has similar characteristics, it falls under HS-6 482210.
