Chapter 47: Pulp of wood

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 470411 when importing or exporting unbleached sulphite wood pulp made from coniferous trees, such as pine or spruce. This type of pulp is commonly used in the production of paper and cardboard products.

This code specifically covers chemical wood pulp that is unbleached and sourced from coniferous wood. It differs from HS-6 470412, which pertains to bleached sulphite wood pulp, often used for higher-quality paper products.

When classifying wood pulp, it's essential to note the grade. For instance, HS-6 470411 applies to unbleached pulp, while other grades like dissolving pulp fall under different codes. This distinction affects processing and end-use applications.

Understanding the specific characteristics of the pulp is crucial. Unbleached sulphite pulp retains more natural lignin, making it suitable for specific paper grades that require strength and durability.
