What HS code 4704 covers
Heading 4704 is for chemical wood pulp made by the sulphite process. It leaves out dissolving grades, which sit under their own heading. If your pulp is sulphite and is not a dissolving grade, this is the heading to check first.
The Harmonized System is the shared naming list that customs offices use to sort goods. Each heading is a short code with a plain description. Traders often search for this one as the HSN code 4704, and it is the same heading.
You will find it in Chapter 47 wood pulp, next to the other pulp headings. Under it sit six-digit subheadings that add the finer detail. That detail is what customs classification depends on.
HS 4704 six-digit codes: bleached vs unbleached, coniferous vs non-coniferous
Only two questions decide which subcode you need. Is the pulp unbleached, or is it semi-bleached or bleached? And does the wood come from coniferous (cone-bearing) trees, or from non-coniferous trees? The answers give four combinations, one for each code.
The codes line up like this:
- 470411: unbleached wood pulp, coniferous wood
- 470419: unbleached wood pulp, non-coniferous wood
- 470421: semi-bleached or bleached pulp, coniferous wood
- 470429: semi-bleached or bleached pulp, non-coniferous wood
Difference between HS 4703 and 4704, and other wood pulp headings
Wood pulp is split by how it is made and by its grade. Headings 4703 and 4704 are close cousins. Both are chemical pulp and both leave out dissolving grades. The split is the process: 4703 is soda or sulphate pulp, while 4704 is sulphite pulp.
If you are weighing sulphite against dissolving grade wood pulp, the HS code is the deciding point. Dissolving grades go to 4702.
The other pulp headings in the chapter work like this:
- 4701: mechanical wood pulp
- 4702: chemical wood pulp, dissolving grades
- 4703: chemical wood pulp, soda or sulphate, other than dissolving grades
- 4705: wood pulp made by a mix of mechanical and chemical pulping
- 4706: pulps of fibres from recovered paper or paperboard, or other fibrous cellulosic material
- 4707: waste and scrap of paper and paperboard
