Duplex Waterslide Decal Paper from Japan
Duplex decalcomania paper consists of a dual-layered sheet with a paper base and a transparent film topcoat, designed for printing images that transfer via water slide to surfaces like ceramics or glass. It falls under HTS 4809.90.60.00 as duplex decalcomania paper, a copying or transfer paper coated for high-resolution image transfer in decorative applications. The duplex structure ensures the backing separates cleanly from the transferred image.
