Products classified under Tariff item 47.05
Bleached Chemi-Thermomechanical Pulp (BCTMP)
Bleached Chemi-Thermomechanical Pulp (BCTMP) is produced by chemically treating wood chips with sodium sulfite or similar agents, followed by mechanical refining under steam pressure, and then peroxide bleaching to achieve high brightness. This combined chemical and mechanical process qualifies it as wood pulp obtained by a combination of mechanical and chemical pulping processes under tariff item 4705.00.00.
4705.00.00Chemi-Groundwood Pulp (CGP)
Chemi-Groundwood Pulp (CGP) involves treating wood chips with mild chemicals to soften them before mechanical grinding between stones, combining chemical and mechanical actions in the pulping process. This hybrid method places it under tariff item 4705.00.00 as wood pulp obtained by a combination of mechanical and chemical pulping processes.
4705.00.00Chemi-Thermomechanical Pulp (CTMP)
Chemi-Thermomechanical Pulp (CTMP) is manufactured by treating wood chips with chemicals such as sodium sulfite before mechanical refining under steam pressure, yielding high-strength, high-yield pulp. This integrated chemical and mechanical process classifies it under tariff item 4705.00.00 as wood pulp from combined pulping processes.
4705.00.00Eucalyptus CTMP
Eucalyptus CTMP is a chemi-thermomechanical pulp made from eucalyptus wood, combining chemical pretreatment and mechanical refining to produce fluff pulp with high absorbency. This combined pulping process places it under tariff item 4705.00.00 as wood pulp obtained by a combination of mechanical and chemical processes.
4705.00.00Hardwood Semi-Chemical Pulp
Hardwood Semi-Chemical Pulp is produced from hardwoods like aspen or eucalyptus using a chemi-mechanical process that combines chemical softening with mechanical defibration. This hybrid method qualifies it under tariff item 4705.00.00 as wood pulp from combined mechanical and chemical pulping, suitable for tissue and fluff applications.
4705.00.00High-Yield Bleached Pulp
High-Yield Bleached Pulp is a semi-chemical pulp with a yield above 90%, produced through a combination of chemical treatment and mechanical refining, followed by bleaching. This high-yield combined process classifies it under tariff item 4705.00.00 as wood pulp obtained by a combination of mechanical and chemical pulping processes.
4705.00.00Newsprint Grade CTMP
Newsprint Grade CTMP is chemi-thermomechanical pulp optimized for newsprint production, featuring specific freeness and opacity achieved through combined chemical and mechanical pulping. This hybrid process places it under tariff item 4705.00.00 as wood pulp from a combination of mechanical and chemical processes.
4705.00.00Packaging Grade PGW Pulp
Packaging Grade PGW Pulp is pressure groundwood pulp produced via a hybrid process involving chemical impregnation of logs followed by pressurized grinding, designed for boxboard and packaging applications. This combined chemical and mechanical method qualifies it under tariff item 4705.00.00 as wood pulp obtained by a combination of mechanical and chemical pulping processes.
4705.00.00Pressure Groundwood Pulp (PGW)
Pressure Groundwood Pulp (PGW) is manufactured by chemically impregnating logs before pressurized grinding, blending chemical and mechanical methods to produce high-quality pulp. This semi-chemical process classifies it under tariff item 4705.00.00 as wood pulp from a combination of mechanical and chemical pulping processes.
4705.00.00Recycled Fiber Blended CTMP
Recycled Fiber Blended CTMP consists of chemi-thermomechanical pulp blended with recycled fiber, where the primary pulping process remains the combined chemical and mechanical method. As the CTMP component is obtained by a combination of mechanical and chemical processes, the product falls under tariff item 4705.00.00.
4705.00.00Refiner Chemical Pulp (RCP)
Refiner Chemical Pulp (RCP) is produced by chemically treating wood chips before refining in pressurized refiners, clearly combining chemical and mechanical processes. This semi-chemical pulp is classified under tariff item 4705.00.00 as wood pulp obtained by a combination of mechanical and chemical pulping processes, used in tissue and towel products.
4705.00.00Softwood CTMP Pulp
Softwood CTMP Pulp is chemi-thermomechanical pulp made from softwood species like spruce or pine, using a chemical-mechanical process to produce long-fiber pulp for linerboard. This combined pulping method places it under tariff item 4705.00.00 as wood pulp obtained by a combination of mechanical and chemical processes.
4705.00.00Tissue Grade Semi-Chemical Pulp
Tissue Grade Semi-Chemical Pulp is produced through a combination of chemical and mechanical processes to achieve bulk and softness for tissue products. This hybrid pulping method qualifies it under tariff item 4705.00.00 as wood pulp obtained by a combination of mechanical and chemical pulping processes.
