Bobbins, spools, cops and similar supports of paper pulp, paper or paperboard (whether or not perforated or hardened)
In plain English
This category includes rolls and similar supports made from paper pulp, paper, or paperboard, regardless of whether they are perforated or hardened. The items are split into two groups based on their intended use. One group consists of supports designed specifically for winding textile yarn. The other group covers all remaining supports that are not used for this purpose.
