NCR Self-Copy Business Forms Paper from China
This is non-carbon self-copying paper designed for multi-part business forms like invoices and receipts, where pressure from writing transfers ink from micro-encapsulated dyes between layers. It falls under HTS 4816.20.00.00 as self-copy paper, distinct from carbon paper, enabling duplicate copies without separate carbon sheets. Typically sold in rolls or sheets for high-volume printing.

Import Tips
• Verify self-copy functionality with lab tests showing micro-encapsulated dye transfer under pressure to confirm HTS 4816 classification
• Provide chemical composition certificates for dyes and coatings; ensure documentation distinguishes from heading 4809 coated papers
