Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If self-adhesive after coating
Paper base becomes self-adhesive gummed paper under 4811.41 when adhesive applied.
If in sheets, weighing >150 g/m²
Heavier paperboard sheets for printing classify under 4802.55, separated by form and weight.
If synthetic resin-coated
Resin-coated base shifts to plastics chapter 39 as synthetic paper substitute.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Include technical data sheets proving intended use as heat-sensitive base, not direct thermal paper
• Watch for misdeclaration as printing paper (4802.56) if basis weight exceeds typical uncoated specs
• Ensure roll form; converted sheets may trigger 4820 exclusion per chapter notes
