HS Code 482370

HS code 482370 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Other paper, paperboard, cellulose wadding and webs of cellulose fibres, cut to size or shape; other articles of paper pulp, paper, paperboard, cellulose wadding or webs of cellulose fibres : Moulded or pressed articles of paper pulp". The first two digits (48) are the chapter — Paper and paperboard; articles of paper pulp — and digits 3-4 (4823) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.

Common products classified under 482370 include molded pulp packaging, egg cartons, fruit trays, paper pulp trays, molded fiber products and similar items matching moulded or pressed articles of paper pulp. 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 (482370) 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.
