Multi-Part Self-Copy Purchase Order Paper from Germany
Multi-part self-copy purchase order paper consists of four-ply sets that produce quadruplicate copies through pressure-sensitive coating, eliminating the need for carbon paper. Each ply is coated with either micro-encapsulated dye (CB) or a reactive clay (CF) on alternating surfaces, ensuring image transfer when pressure is applied. This product is classified under tariff item 4809.20.00 as self-copy paper, as it is specifically impregnated for business duplication.

Import Tips
• Ensure the sets are not collated or bound into finished forms, as that may shift classification to Chapter 48 or 49
• Provide a detailed description of the CB/CF coating layers to CBSA to confirm it is self-copy paper
• Verify whether the paper meets the 'not converted' definition if it is in rolls or sheets, to avoid additional processing duties
