Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 481810 when importing or exporting toilet paper, which is typically packaged in rolls or sheets for personal hygiene. For example, a shipment of 100 cases of two-ply toilet paper rolls fits this classification.
This code specifically covers toilet paper that is 36 cm wide or less, distinguishing it from other paper products like paper towels or tissues, which fall under different HS codes. If you have a product that is cut to size or shape, it may also qualify under this line.
Toilet paper under this code is primarily made from paper pulp or cellulose fibers. In contrast, HS-6 481820 covers paper towels and similar products, which are designed for absorption rather than hygiene.
When considering this classification, ensure that your product does not exceed the width limit or fall into the category of household articles like bed sheets, which would require a different code.
