Questions

HS code 481039: common questions

What is HS code 481039?

HS code 481039 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 : Kraft paper and paperboard, other than that of a kind used for writing, printing or other graphic purposes : Other". 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.

What products fall under HS 481039?

Common products classified under 481039 include coated kraft paper, kraft paper coating, clay-coated kraft and similar items matching kraft paper and paperboard. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.

How do I find the import duty for HS code 481039?

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.

Is HS code 481039 the same in every country?

The first 6 digits (481039) 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.

Can I trust the HS code a 1688 supplier gives me?

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.
