HS Code 480300

HS code 480300 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Toilet or facial tissue stock, towel or napkin stock and similar paper of a kind used for household or sanitary purposes, cellulose wadding and webs of cellulose fibres, whether or not creped, crinkled, embossed, perforated, surfacecoloured, surfacedecorated or printed, in rolls or sheets". The first two digits (48) are the chapter — Paper and paperboard; articles of paper pulp — and digits 3-4 (4803) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.

Common products classified under 480300 include toilet paper, facial tissue, paper towels, napkins, tissue rolls, bathroom tissue and similar items matching toilet or facial tissue stock. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.

Duty is set by the destination country, not by the 6-digit HS code alone. Start from the official tariff of your market — USITC HTS (US), TARIC / Access2Markets (EU), GOV.UK Trade Tariff (UK), CBSA (Canada), ABF (Australia) or Singapore Customs — and look up the full national code with China as the country of origin.

The first 6 digits (480300) are the same worldwide under the WCO Harmonized System. Beyond that, each country extends the code (HTS in the US, TARIC in the EU, etc.) and sets its own duty and tax rates.

Treat a supplier-provided code as a clue, not a final classification. It can be incomplete, China-export-specific, or mismatched to your destination's rules. Verify against the official tariff and your product's actual material and use.
