Chapter 48: Paper and paperboard
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 482390 when importing or exporting specific articles made from paper pulp, paper, or paperboard that aren't classified elsewhere in chapter 48. For example, this code applies to unique paper products like paper bags or specialty envelopes.
This subheading narrows down the broader category of paper products to those that are not specifically identified in other lines. For instance, while HS-6 482310 covers paper boxes, HS-6 482390 includes items like decorative paper or custom cut shapes.
When dealing with paper products that might not fit neatly into standard categories, HS-6 482390 is essential. It addresses articles such as paper gift bags or unique paper shapes used in crafts, which do not have a dedicated classification.
If you're unsure whether your product fits this code, consider whether it is a paper item that doesn't belong to more specific categories. For example, if you have paperboard used for packaging that doesn't match other classifications, this could be the right choice.
