Chapter 48: Paper and paperboard

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 480810 when importing or exporting corrugated paper and paperboard, which can include items like large rolls of cardboard used for packaging. This classification is essential for shipments that involve materials designed for structural support or protective packaging.

This HS-6 code specifically covers corrugated paper, which is characterized by a fluted layer sandwiched between two flat liners. In contrast, HS-6 480820 addresses paper and paperboard that is creped or crinkled, which may not provide the same structural properties as corrugated types.

When considering HS-6 480810, think about products like corrugated sheets used for shipping boxes or protective packaging. These materials are often essential in logistics and storage, making correct classification crucial for compliance and duties.

If your product is primarily made of paperboard and has a smooth surface without the fluted structure, you might need to look at different codes, such as those under HS-6 480300 for uncoated paper. Understanding these distinctions helps avoid misclassification.
