U.S. imports of pressure-sensitive gummed or adhesive paper and paperboard (HS 481141) totaled $23.6M in April 2026, traded with 41 countries.
Importers of Pressure-Sensitive Gummed or Adhesive Paper and Paperboard paid $1.4M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 12% on $11.0M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataPressure-sensitive adhesive paper and paperboard — the substrate class behind self-adhesive labels, tapes, and protective films — is a high-volume input for packaging, logistics, and consumer-goods industries. The US schedule organizes this heading by form: wide-dimension strips or rolls (4811411000), standard strips or rolls (4811412100), and all other formats (4811413000). Canada leads US imports under this heading, with the United Kingdom and China also among the top suppliers. Classification as pressure-sensitive (rather than non-pressure-sensitive adhesive under 481149) requires that the adhesive bond activates under finger or mechanical pressure without heat or moisture.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Pressure-sensitive adhesives bond on contact with light pressure and require no heat, water, or solvent activation. If the adhesive requires moisture (like envelope gum) or heat to activate, the product belongs under heading 481149. The activation mechanism — not the adhesive chemistry alone — is the operative distinction for classification purposes.
Each form is classified separately: rolls and strips fall under 4811412100, while other formats (including cut sheets) fall under 4811413000. If a shipment contains both forms, each should be declared under its respective 10-digit line. Mixing them under a single line risks a classification discrepancy on CBP review.
