Paper, paperboard, and publications

Chapters 47 through 49 cover wood pulp, recovered paper and paperboard, paper and paperboard in all forms, and printed products (books, newspapers, prints). Books and educational publications enjoy duty-free status in most countries under the UNESCO Florence Agreement.
