Questions
HS code 481151: common questions
What is HS code 481151?
HS code 481151 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Paper, paperboard, cellulose wadding and webs of cellulose fibres, coated, impregnated, covered, surfacecoloured, surfacedecorated or printed, in rolls or rectangular (including square) sheets, of any size, other than goods of the kind described in heading 4803, 4809 or 4810 : Paper and paperboard, coated, impregnated or covered with plastics (excluding adhesives) : Bleached, weighing more than 150 g/m²". The first two digits (48) are the chapter — Paper and paperboard; articles of paper pulp — and digits 3-4 (4811) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.
What products fall under HS 481151?
Common products classified under 481151 include plastic-coated paper, PE coated paper, laminated paper, polyethylene coated board and similar items matching bleached. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.
How do I find the import duty for HS code 481151?
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 481151 the same in every country?
The first 6 digits (481151) 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.
