About this HS Code
HS Code 4818 covers household and sanitary paper products including toilet paper, facial tissues, towels, tablecloths, diapers, and similar personal care or household items. The classification includes subcategories for toilet paper (4818.10), handkerchiefs/tissues (4818.20), towels/napkins (4818.30), and other sanitary products (4818.50-4818.90). This consumer-oriented category delivers essential personal hygiene and household cleaning products. Technical specifications focus on absorbency, tensile strength, softness, and increasingly, environmental attributes such as biodegradability or recycled content. Unlike industrial papers (HS 4803-4809), these converted products are designed specifically for consumer end-use with appropriate packaging and dispensing formats. This division represents significant converting operations beyond basic papermaking, incorporating processes such as embossing, laminating, folding, and packaging to create consumer-ready products.
