HS-6 470421: Wood pulp; chemical wood pulp, sulphite, (other than dissolving grades), semi-bleached or bleached, of coniferous wood

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 470421 when importing or exporting semi-bleached or bleached sulphite wood pulp made from coniferous wood. This product is commonly used in the production of paper and other cellulose-based products. For example, a shipment of bleached sulphite wood pulp intended for paper manufacturing would fall under this code.

This code specifically applies to wood pulp that has undergone a sulphite process, distinguishing it from other wood pulp types like those classified under HS-6 470421 which covers unbleached wood pulp. If your product is unbleached or made from non-coniferous wood, you will need to look at different HS codes.

The HS-4 heading 4704 narrows down the classification to chemical wood pulp, specifically sulphite grades, which are known for their strength and brightness. This makes them ideal for high-quality paper products, contrasting with other grades that may not meet these specifications.

When determining the correct classification, consider the end-use of the pulp. If it is intended for producing high-grade paper or specialty products, HS-6 470421 is likely the right choice. However, if the pulp is dissolving grade, it would be classified differently.
