Paper and paperboard; articles of paper pulp, of paper or paperboard

Schedule B code 48 refers to paper and paperboard, encompassing a wide range of manufactured paper products such as writing paper, printing paper, coated and uncoated board, folding cartons, and packaging containers. The classification groups items by material type and intended use for export reporting, distinguishing them from other paper-related categories like newsprint or specialty pulp. It aids U.S. customs in tracking the volume and value of paper-based goods shipped abroad.
