U.S. exports of semichemical pulp of non-wood fibrous cellulosic material (HS 470693) totaled $406K in July 2026.
Semichemical Pulp of Non-Wood Fibrous Cellulosic Material imports of $39K in July 2026 ran 319% above the year-to-date monthly average of $9K.
Last updated: July 2026 dataSemichemical pulp made from non-wood cellulosic materials is produced by a hybrid process — partial chemical softening followed by mechanical defibration — yielding a pulp with stiffness and yield characteristics distinct from either fully chemical or purely mechanical grades. The single US tariff line (4706930100) captures this category for non-wood fiber sources, and correct classification hinges on documenting both the fiber type and the two-stage processing method. Germany and Canada are the leading suppliers to the US under this heading. Buyers sourcing from Poland or the Philippines should confirm process documentation, as semichemical pulp from wood falls under a separate heading.

Customs authorities may request mill process records or technical data sheets confirming that the material underwent an initial chemical treatment (typically a mild sulfite or alkaline cook) followed by mechanical refining. A certificate from the producing mill describing both process stages is the most reliable supporting document for classification under 4706930100.
Yes — fiber origin is a primary classification criterion. Heading 470693 (and its US line 4706930100) applies only to non-wood fibrous cellulosic materials. Semichemical pulps derived from wood are classified elsewhere in Chapter 47. Importers should obtain mill certificates specifying the raw material to avoid misclassification.
