Vinyl-Coated Cotton Wallpaper Rolls from Japan
These textile wall coverings consist of a woven cotton fabric surface impregnated with vinyl for durability, permanently backed with affixed paper to facilitate pasting on walls. They meet HTS 5905.00.10.00 as they are in rolls over 45 cm wide, suitable for wall decoration with a treated textile surface fixed to a paper backing. The visible textile face distinguishes them from paper-based coverings.
