Pulps of fibers derived from recovered (waste and scrap) paper or paperboard or of other fibrous cellulosic material
Heading 4706 covers pulps made from recovered (waste and scrap) paper or paperboard, and from other fibrous cellulosic material such as cotton linters, bamboo, or textile fibers. It does not cover pulp made from virgin wood, which falls in other chapter 47 headings. The heading splits first by fiber source (cotton linters, recovered paper, bamboo, other) and then, within other, by production process: mechanical, chemical, or a combination of the two.
