What does HTS Chapter 47 cover?

Chapter 47 of the U.S. Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTSUS) covers Pulp of wood or of other fibrous cellulosic material; recovered (waste and scrap) paper or paperboard. It sits within Section X: Pulp of Wood or of Other Fibrous Cellulosic Material; Paper and Paperboard; Articles Thereof. Tandom's catalog lists all 26 10-digit statistical lines and 4 4-digit headings in this chapter.

What is the typical U.S. duty rate for Chapter 47 imports?

Most lines in this chapter enter duty-free under the general (Column 1) rate. Use the calculator linked from each code page to build a date- and origin-specific import-duty estimate, including applicable Chapter 99 layers and customs fees. Potential AD/CVD exposure is flagged separately and is not included in the estimate.

How are Section 301 and Section 232 measures represented in the HTSUS?

Section 301 and Section 232 measures are represented by Chapter 99 provisions. A catalog link between a provision and a 10-digit line is a screening flag, not a claim that the measure applies; origin, product and material facts, claims, and entry date control the result.

How do I screen for antidumping or countervailing duty (AD/CVD) when using Chapter 47?

AD/CVD orders are issued at the case level by the Department of Commerce against specific products from specific countries. Use the product's base HTS code to find potentially relevant AD/CVD order flags, then read the written order scope; an HTS match alone does not determine coverage.

Chapter 47: Pulp of wood or of other fibrous cellulosic material; recovered (waste and scrap) paper or paperboard

Chapter 47 of the U.S. Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers Pulp of wood or of other fibrous cellulosic material; recovered (waste and scrap) paper or paperboard and sits within Section X: Pulp of Wood or of Other Fibrous Cellulosic Material; Paper and Paperboard; Articles Thereof.

About Chapter 47

Chapter 47 contains 26 10-digit statistical lines grouped under 4 4-digit headings. Brokers, importers, and customs counsel use these codes to declare pulp of wood or of other fibrous cellulosic material; recovered (waste and scrap) paper or paperboard on entry summaries (CBP Form 7501) and to look up the published Column 1, Special, and Column 2 rate notation.

All 26 10-digit lines in this chapter enter duty-free under the general (Column 1) rate. Chapter 99 flags or potentially relevant AD/CVD order flags can still appear beyond the base rate; use the calculator's entry-date and origin inputs, and read any AD/CVD order's written scope.

Product-code pages link into the Tandom Tariff Calculator with the base HTS code prefilled. Chapter 99 provision pages instead show mapped base codes and send you to a dated calculator scenario, which determines whether a measure applies from the entry facts. Tandom's data refreshes daily from USITC HTSUS, CBP CSMS, the Federal Register, and the Department of Commerce — the same authoritative sources the trade community files against.
