4814 — Wallpaper and similar wall coverings; window transparencies of paper
Chapter 48: Paper and paperboard
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 4814 when importing wallpaper and similar wall coverings, such as a roll of vinyl-coated wallpaper for residential use. This heading includes products designed for interior wall decoration and can also cover window transparencies made of paper.
When selecting between the HS-6 lines, consider 481420 for wallpaper that has a decorative layer of plastics, like embossed or printed vinyl wallpaper. If your product does not fit this description, it may fall under 481490, which includes other types of wall coverings and window transparencies not specifically covered in 481420.
If you're importing a product that combines features from both lines, carefully review the specifications. For instance, if your wallpaper is simply printed paper without any plastic coating, it would be classified under 481490. Understanding these distinctions is crucial for accurate tariff classification.
