Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 481190 when importing or exporting coated or impregnated paper products that don’t fit into more specific categories. For example, this code applies to rolls of soft cellulose fiber paper that are coated with a surface color or decoration.
This code is distinct from HS-6 481191, which covers similar products but specifically refers to paper that is bleached or treated in a certain way. If your product is simply coated but not bleached, 481190 is the correct choice.
The 481190 classification includes a variety of coated papers that are not otherwise specified, which can be used for printing, packaging, or artistic purposes. This might include decorative wrapping paper or specialty printing sheets.
When dealing with products under this code, be mindful of the specific characteristics of your paper. If it has a unique coating or treatment, it may require a different classification.
