HS code 4807 is the customs heading for composite paper and paperboard, also called laminated paperboard. Use this page to check what fits, how it differs from nearby headings, and where to find shipment records.
Heading 4807does not subdivide further in the WCO nomenclature: goods answering to “Composite paper and paperboard, (made by sticking layers together with an adhesive), not surface-coated or impregnated, whether or not internally reinforced, in rolls or sheets” classify at the single six-digit code 480700. The heading is number 7 of 22 in Chapter 48, Paper and paperboard; articles of paper pulp, of paper or paperboard, which runs to 101 six-digit codes in all.
Six-digit codes under heading 4807

What HS code 4807 covers
The result is one roll or sheet that is thicker or stronger than a single layer. It belongs to Chapter 48 paper and paperboard in the Harmonized System, the product list kept by the World Customs Organization.
Three tests decide if a product fits here:
- It is built from layers joined with an adhesive.
- It is not surface-coated or impregnated.
- It comes in rolls or sheets.
HS code 480700 and the HSN code 4807
Traders in India often write this heading as HSN code 4807. It is the same heading. Customs offices around the world agree on the first six digits, and under 4807 only 480700 exists. You never have to choose between sibling subheadings.
Internal reinforcement does not move a product out. Internally reinforced paperboard still fits, as long as the layers are glued together and the surface is not coated or impregnated.
After six digits, each country adds its own digits and sets its own duty. Customs tariff classification at that level follows the national tariff, so check it for the exact rate. This page shows no rates.
Composite paper tariff code 4807 vs nearby headings
Most mistakes happen between 4807 and its neighbours. Compare the product with these headings before you pick a code:
- 4808: corrugated, creped, crinkled, embossed or perforated paper.
- 4805: other uncoated paper and paperboard not named elsewhere.
Is laminated coated paperboard under 4807 or 4811?
If a glued board also has a coating, an impregnation or a printed surface, it moves away from 4807. A kaolin coat points to 4810. Other coated, covered or printed surfaces point to 4811. Corrugated or embossed board points to 4808.
If you are still unsure, run the product through the HS code classifier. A customs broker can also confirm the final code for your country.
