CN chapter 48 and EU sanctions
Paper and paperboard; articles of paper pulp, paper or paperboard
In chapter 48 of the Combined Nomenclature (Paper and paperboard; articles of paper pulp, paper or paperboard), 21 CN codes are restricted by EU measures: 21 toward Russia and 21 toward Belarus. Determine the status of a single product on its code page, because the same chapter can hold both restricted and unrestricted entries.

Frequently asked questions
Is the whole of chapter 48 under sanctions?
No. The annexes list specific entries rather than whole chapters, with few exceptions. This list contains only codes present in the goods annexes. A code from chapter 48 that is not here requires separate verification, because restrictions outside the CN database may apply, for example dual-use or entity-based bans.
How do I know whether it is an export or import ban?
The direction follows from the article and annex where the code appears. The same code may be under an export ban to Russia and an import ban from Belarus at the same time. For every code we show the regime, annex, article and direction separately.
