A stack of repositionable adhesive notes in pad form, typically 3x3 inches, for temporary reminders. It qualifies under HTS 4820.10.2020 as a memorandum pad due to its bound stack format for stationery use. The adhesive is integral but doesn't change paper pad classification.

Import Tips
• Specify adhesive type in invoices; strong adhesives might prompt review for heading 3506 if predominant
• Test for repositionability claims; non-adhesive pads stay clearly in 4820
• Package as complete pads; loose notes could be seen as cut sheets excluded by chapter notes
