HS Code 481013

HS code 481013 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Paper and paperboard, coated on one or both sides with kaolin (China clay) or other inorganic substances, with or without a binder, and with no other coating, whether or not surfacecoloured, surfacedecorated or printed, in rolls or rectangular (including square) sheets, of any size : Paper and paperboard of a kind used for writing, printing or other graphic purposes, not containing fibres obtained by a mechanical or chemimechanical process or of which not more than 10 % by weight of the total fibre content consists of such fibres : In rolls". The first two digits (48) are the chapter — Paper and paperboard; articles of paper pulp — and digits 3-4 (4810) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.

Common products classified under 481013 include coated paper roll, art paper roll, glossy paper, clay-coated paper, printing paper roll and similar items matching in rolls. 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 (481013) 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.
