Import Tips
• Verify the plastic layer is applied only to the face side and constitutes a grained, embossed, or printed decoration to qualify under 4814.20
• Provide lab test reports confirming paper substrate with plastic coating; avoid misclassification as pure plastic film under Chapter 39
• Ensure rolls are not pre-cut to wall sizes, as that could shift to heading 4820 if considered articles
