Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the liner paper has a self-adhesive layer
Self-adhesive paper is specifically provided for in a more specific subheading, which would take precedence.
If the paper is coated with plastics on one or both sides
A plastic coating that is more than half the total thickness would exclude the product from Chapter 48.
If the liner is made of plastic sheeting rather than paper
If the product is primarily plastic, it would fall under Chapter 39, not Chapter 48.
