Questions

HS code 481950: common questions

What is HS code 481950?

HS code 481950 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Cartons, boxes, cases, bags and other packing containers, of paper, paperboard, cellulose wadding or webs of cellulose fibres; box files, letter trays, and similar articles, of paper or paperboard, of a kind used in offices, shops or the like : Other packing containers, including record sleeves". The first two digits (48) are the chapter — Paper and paperboard; articles of paper pulp — and digits 3-4 (4819) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.

What products fall under HS 481950?

Common products classified under 481950 include record sleeves, paper tubes, canisters, mailers, paper containers and similar items matching other packing containers. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.

How do I find the import duty for HS code 481950?

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 481950 the same in every country?

The first 6 digits (481950) 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.
