Chapter 47: Pulp of wood
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 470419 when importing or exporting unbleached sulphite wood pulp made from non-coniferous wood, such as hardwoods. For example, if you're shipping a container of unbleached wood pulp sourced from eucalyptus or birch, this is the correct code to use.
This code specifically addresses unbleached sulphite wood pulp, which is different from HS-6 470410, which covers bleached sulphite wood pulp. If your product has been processed to remove color, you would need to classify it under the latter.
Another related classification is HS-6 470421, which pertains to dissolving grades of sulphite wood pulp. If your wood pulp is intended for applications like textiles or specialty papers, ensure you check the specifications to avoid misclassification.
Understanding the nuances between these codes is crucial for compliance and avoiding delays in customs. Accurate classification helps in determining duties and ensuring that your products meet regulatory standards.
