HS Code 4822.10 – Paper pulp, paper or paperboard; bobbins, spools, cops and similar supports, of a kind used for winding textile yarn (whether or not perforated or hardened)
HS code 4822.10 is the 6-digit subheading for paper pulp, paper or paperboard, bobbins, spools, cops and similar supports, of a kind used for winding textile yarn (whether or not perforated or hardened). It is used for textile yarn bobbins, paper spinning cones, paper winding tubes, paper cops for yarn and paper spools for thread.
What HS 4822.10 covers
This specific HS code covers bobbins, spools, cops, and similar supports made from paper pulp, paper, or paperboard, exclusively designed for winding textile yarn. These items are essential consumables in the global textile industry, facilitating the manufacturing process from spinning to weaving. International trade in these supports is driven by the textile production hubs worldwide. Major importers are textile mills and yarn manufacturers, particularly in countries with large garment and fabric production, such as China, India, Bangladesh, and Vietnam. Exporters often originate from countries with strong paper manufacturing capabilities and specialized production for industrial consumables, including China, Germany, and Italy. Key considerations include the durability, precise dimensions, and surface finish of these supports, as they directly impact the efficiency and quality of textile production. The shift towards more sustainable materials also influences sourcing decisions.

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).
