Last updated: April 2026 dataCoated or impregnated copying and transfer papers in large-format rolls or sheets serve a wide range of reproduction and decorative applications, from duplicator stencils and offset plates to decalcomania (transfer) papers used in ceramics, textiles, and promotional products. The US tariff schedule is notably granular here, with dedicated 10-digit lines for stereotype-matrix board (4809902000), simplex decalcomania paper (4809904000), duplex decalcomania paper (4809906000), and several residual copying/transfer categories. Classifying decalcomania paper correctly — simplex versus duplex — is a recurring challenge because the distinction turns on whether the design is carried on one or both sides of the substrate.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Simplex decalcomania paper (4809904000) carries a transferable design or image on one side only, while duplex decalcomania paper (4809906000) bears designs on both sides. This distinction is determined by the paper's construction at the time of importation, not its intended end use, and should be confirmed with the manufacturer's technical specification sheet.
Yes — stereotype-matrix board and mat in rolls or sheets over 36 cm (4809902000) is classified within heading 480990 alongside general copying and transfer papers. However, it is a distinct tariff line, so importers of this specialized printing-industry substrate should ensure their entry documents cite the correct 10-digit code rather than the residual copying-paper line.
