Recovered (waste and scrap) paper and paperboard:

HTS code 4707 classifies imports of: Recovered (waste and scrap) paper and paperboard:. This line sits within Chapter 47 (Pulp of wood or of other fibrous cellulosic material; recovered (waste and scrap) paper or paperboard), Section X (Pulp of Wood; Paper and Paperboard), and is catalogued as a heading in the USITC 2026 Basic Edition. The schedule specifies ad valorem (percentage-of-value) duty for this line. Chapter 47 covers a broad category with many neighboring tariff lines, so double-check the classification against the closest matches before filing.

The general (MFN / Column 1 General) rate for HTS 4707 is Free, which applies to most trading partners of the United States. No special preferential rate is listed for this line, so FTA origin alone will not reduce the general duty. Because the general rate is Free, most imports under this code enter the US without duty, though anti-dumping, countervailing, or Section 301 tariffs can still apply depending on country of origin.

Beyond the published rate, importers should check for Section 201 safeguards, Section 301 China tariffs, and any active AD/CVD orders that can materially change the real landed cost. Always verify the classification with a licensed customs broker before committing to a supply contract, this page is a research tool, not a customs ruling.
