Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the adhesive coating is combined with a plastic layer constituting more than half the total thickness
Chapter note 2(g) excludes such products from Chapter 48, placing them in Chapter 39.
If the blueprint is printed with architectural drawings that are not merely subsidiary to the adhesive function
Chapter note 12 sends printed paper with primary pictorial content to Chapter 49.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the rolls exceed 36 cm in width to qualify for heading 48.11; otherwise, they may fall under another heading
• Declare the adhesive type (e.g
• acrylic, rubber) and the paper's weight per square metre for accurate classification
• Keep commercial invoices showing the paper's fibre content and coating details in case CBSA requests verification
