Coated paper rolls used for producing adhesive labels in direct thermal printers, with a thermal-sensitive topcoat and facestock suitable for barcodes and text.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If adhesive-coated (self-adhesive paper)
Adhesive thermal paper shifts to 4811.41 regardless of thermal coating, as adhesiveness takes precedence.
If pressure-sensitive adhesive included
Self-adhesive sheets/plates of plastic (often thermal label stock) under 3919 if plastic-based.
If thermal transfer coated, not direct
Thermal transfer paper (requires ribbon) falls in other coated paper, not direct thermal .30.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Separate liner/facestock declarations; import as paper only if adhesive backing not included to stay in 4811
• Test for thermal sensitivity and document coating type; pitfalls include reclassification if deemed 'printed' under Chapter 49
• Provide grammage (e.g
• 80 g/m²) and roll dimensions in CF-7501 to confirm rolls/sheets status
