Frequently asked questions

I supply businesses with boxes, films, bags, pallets, or other packaging: 46.86.30?
Yes, if you wholesale packaging materials. If your catalogue is closer to stationery and office paper, compare 46.49.10; for paper or cardboard packaging that you manufacture yourself, see 17.21.00.
I manufacture plastic packaging and then sell it: is 46.86.30 still correct?
No, the manufacture of plastic packaging should be assessed against 22.22.00. 46.86.30 is correct for businesses that buy finished packaging and resell it wholesale.
46.86.30 or 46.49.10 if in addition to boxes and films I also sell paper, cardboard, and stationery?
It depends on the intended use. 46.86.30 is for packaging items such as boxes, bags, and pallets; paper, cardboard, and office stationery for offices and stationery shops fall under 46.49.10. If stationery predominates, use that code.
