HS Code 4810.92 – Paper and paperboard; multi-ply, coated with kaolin or other inorganic substances only, for non-graphic purposes, n.e.c. in heading no. 4810, in rolls or sheets

HS code 4810.92 is the 6-digit subheading for paper and paperboard, multi-ply, coated with kaolin or other inorganic substances only, for non-graphic purposes, n.e.c. in heading no. 4810, in rolls or sheets. It is used for coated multi-ply carton board, solid bleached sulfate (SBS) board (coated), coated white lined chipboard (WLC), coated duplex board and coated triplex board.

What HS 4810.92 covers

This HS code covers multi-ply paper and paperboard that is coated with inorganic substances, specifically for non-graphic applications, and not falling under other more specific categories within heading 4810. The multi-ply nature signifies a layered construction, often combining different pulp types or recycled fibers, to achieve specific strength, rigidity, or barrier properties. The inorganic coating enhances the surface for various functional purposes, such as improved printability for non-graphic markings, moisture resistance, or a smoother finish for lamination. These materials are crucial for heavy-duty packaging, display boards, and specialized industrial uses where single-ply options are insufficient. Major importers include countries with robust manufacturing sectors and high demand for durable packaging, such as the United States, Germany, and China. Exporters are typically large-scale paper and board manufacturers in Europe, North America, and Asia. Key trade considerations involve material strength, environmental impact, and compliance with packaging regulations. EUDR and EUTR are relevant due to the wood fiber content.

Codes often confused with 4810.92

Common mistake. This code is often confused with single-ply coated boards (e.g., 481032 or 481099) if the multi-ply characteristic is not identified. It can also be mistaken for other coated boards if the "non-graphic purposes" or specific coating type is overlooked.

How these figures are built

109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
