HS Code for Textile bobbins

Textile bobbins made of paper or paperboard are classified under HS code 4822.10. This code is located in Chapter 48, which covers paper and paperboard and articles made from them. Heading 4822 is dedicated to bobbins, spools, cops, and similar supports of paper pulp, paper, or paperboard, whether or not perforated or hardened. These items are used primarily in the textile industry for winding yarn, thread, or wire during various stages of manufacturing, spinning, weaving, or for retail sale. Subheading 4822.10 specifically identifies those supports "of a kind used for winding textile yarn." The classification is determined by the material (paper/paperboard) and the specific intended use (winding textile yarn). These supports are often treated with resins or chemicals to make them resistant to moisture and the high centrifugal forces of spinning machinery. They can be cylindrical, conical, or other shapes designed to fit specific textile machines.

Common Misclassification

Textile bobbins are frequently misclassified based on material. Plastic bobbins fall under 3923.40, and wooden bobbins fall under 4421.99. Within Chapter 48, they might be misclassified under 4822.90, which is for supports used for winding other materials (like paper or film). If the paper support is not used for textile yarn, it must be moved to the "other" subheading. Additionally, heavy-duty paper tubes used for shipping rather than winding might be classified in 4817 or 4823.
