Heading 4820 — Registers, account books, diaries and similar; albums for samples or collections, of paper or paperboard
Chapter 48: Paper and paperboard
Use HS-6 482040 when importing or exporting manifold business forms and interleaved carbon sets made of paper or paperboard. These products are commonly used in business settings for record-keeping and documentation, such as invoices or purchase orders.
This code specifically applies to products like carbonless copy paper sets, which allow multiple copies of a document to be created simultaneously. In contrast, HS-6 482050 covers other types of paper products, such as blank forms that do not include the interleaved carbon feature.
Manifold business forms can come in various formats, including pads or books, and are often pre-printed with specific fields for data entry. This differs from standard paper products that may not have the same structured layout.
When shipping items classified under this HS-6, ensure that your documentation clearly states the nature of the products, as this will aid customs in processing your shipment efficiently.
