Hardwood kraft pulp produced from nonconiferous species — eucalyptus, birch, aspen, and mixed tropical hardwoods — delivers shorter, finer fibers that improve smoothness and printability in printing and writing papers, tissue, and specialty grades. Canada is the leading supplier to the US under this heading, with China also among the sources. The single 10-digit line (4703190000) covers all unbleached soda or sulfate nonconiferous grades, and the coniferous versus nonconiferous distinction at the HS6 level is the primary classification boundary importers must establish through species documentation.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
A mill certificate or technical data sheet identifying the wood species or species blend used in pulp production is the standard supporting document. For mixed-species pulps, the predominant fiber type by weight typically governs classification, but CBP may request fiber analysis if the species composition is unclear from commercial documents.
If the pulp is a deliberate blend of softwood and hardwood fibers, classification depends on which fiber predominates by weight. If the two types are shipped as separate, identifiable lots in the same container, each lot should be classified independently under 4703110000 (coniferous) or 4703190000 (nonconiferous) as applicable. Commingled blends without clear species documentation create classification risk and should be supported by fiber composition analysis.
