Heading 4822 — Bobbins, spools, cops and similar supports of paper pulp, paper or paperboard (whether or not perforated or hardened)
Chapter 48: Paper and paperboard
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 482290 when importing or exporting bobbins, spools, cops, and similar supports made from paper pulp, paper, or paperboard. For example, if you're shipping cardboard spools used for packaging, this is the correct code.
This code specifically covers supports that are not designed for winding textile yarn, distinguishing it from HS-6 482291, which includes those specifically for yarn. If your product is a paperboard spool for holding labels instead, 482290 is the right choice.
The 482290 classification is relevant for various types of paper products, including perforated or hardened supports. If you have spools made of recycled paperboard for holding electrical wires, this code applies.
Understanding the difference between 482290 and other related codes can help avoid misclassification. For instance, if your product is a paper pulp bobbin for industrial use, ensure it doesn't fall under the textile yarn category.
