What HS code 4705 covers
Some pulp is made in two stages. First, machines grind or break the wood into fibres. Then chemicals treat those fibres further. Pulp that gets both treatments belongs in this heading. You may also see it called mechanical-chemical wood pulp.
The Harmonized System, or HS, is a shared naming scheme for traded goods. Customs offices around the world use it. A buyer, a seller and a customs officer can all quote the same code and mean the same product.
Is 470500 the same as heading 4705?
Nearly. The heading is the first four digits. The code 470500 adds the last two. Nothing else sits beneath it, so a pulp of this type is declared as 470500. In shipping papers you may see this written as HS 470500.
Some sources write HSN code 4705. HSN is a name some markets use for the same kind of product code, and the first digits follow the HS heading.
Countries can add extra digits after the sixth one for their own tariffs. Those digits differ from country to country. Check your national tariff for duty details, because this page gives no rates.
4705 vs other wood pulp headings in Chapter 47
Chapter 47 sorts pulp mainly by how it was made. To pick the right code, ask which process produced the pulp.
Heading 4702 is the dissolving grade. Heading 4704 uses sulphite. Pulp that is neither purely mechanical nor purely chemical, because it has had both, goes to 4705.
Two more headings are about different raw material.
