Last updated: April 2026 dataCarbonless copy paper — sold in large-format rolls or sheets with at least one side exceeding 36 cm — is the dominant product here, used in multi-part business forms, invoices, and order pads across commercial printing and office-supply supply chains. The US schedule breaks this heading into two active 10-digit lines: self-copy writing paper (4809202000) and self-copy paper other than writing (4809204000), a distinction that matters when classifying specialty carbonless substrates used in industrial or point-of-sale applications. Importers should note that large-format rolls are often subject to antidumping orders on certain coated paper products depending on origin, making precise classification and country-of-origin documentation essential.

The US 10-digit breakdown separates self-copy writing paper (4809202000) from self-copy paper excluding writing (4809204000). The writing-paper line covers carbonless substrates intended for handwritten or typed business forms, while the non-writing line captures carbonless paper used in thermal, point-of-sale, or industrial form applications. Correct classification depends on the paper's intended end use and surface treatment.
Certain coated and specialty papers from specific origins have historically been subject to antidumping or countervailing duty orders in the US. Importers of large-format carbonless paper should verify with a licensed customs broker whether any active trade-remedy orders apply to their specific product and country of origin before entry.
