Chemical Pulp of Non-Wood Fibrous Cellulosic Material imports of $120K in August 2026 ran 76% below the year-to-date monthly average of $492K.
Last updated: August 2026 dataProduced by chemical digestion of non-wood plant fibers — such as cotton linters, bamboo, bagasse, or hemp — this pulp grade serves as a specialty feedstock for dissolving-grade applications, specialty papers, and nonwoven fabrics. The single US tariff line (4706920100) consolidates all non-wood chemical pulps not elsewhere specified, making correct fiber-source documentation critical for classification. The United Kingdom and Thailand are the leading suppliers to the US market, with Italy, Germany, and Canada also contributing meaningful volumes. Importers should verify fiber origin and processing method, as these factors determine whether the goods fall here or under wood-pulp headings.

The key criterion is the raw material: heading 470692 covers chemical pulps derived from non-wood fibrous cellulosic materials such as cotton, flax, bamboo, bagasse, or straw. Wood-derived chemical pulps (kraft, sulfite, etc.) fall under headings 4703–4705. Importers should obtain mill certificates specifying the fiber source to support the correct classification.
Primary end users include manufacturers of specialty and technical papers, viscose/rayon fiber producers, and makers of nonwoven materials. Dissolving-grade non-wood pulps are also used in pharmaceutical cellulose derivatives and food-grade carboxymethyl cellulose, so buyers should confirm pulp grade and purity specifications match their downstream process requirements.
