Embossed Leatherette Book Cover Paper from Japan
Embossed leatherette book cover paper consists of sheets of paperboard embossed with a leather-grain pattern, used for bookbinding and journal covers.

Import Tips
• Ensure the paper is declared as embossed paperboard in sheets, as this determines classification under 4808.90.00
• Provide a sample or technical description to the CBSA if requested to confirm the embossing is not merely subsidiary to another process
• Verify the dimensions of the sheets, as goods over 36 cm on one side and 15 cm on the other qualify for this heading
