Last updated: July 2026 dataPermanently paper-backed textile wall coverings (5905001000) and all other textile wall coverings (5905009000) occupy distinct US tariff lines under this heading, with the paper-backing distinction carrying classification weight. Used widely in commercial interiors, hospitality design, and high-end residential applications, these products compete with vinyl wall coverings classified elsewhere in Chapter 39. Importers should confirm whether the paper backing is integral and permanent, as that determination drives the correct 10-digit line selection.

A permanently paper-backed textile wall covering is one where the paper layer is bonded to the textile in a way that is not intended to be separated before or during installation — it is a structural component of the product, not a temporary protective sheet. If the paper is a removable liner, the product would fall under the 'other' line (5905009000).
Yes. If the paper component predominates by weight or the product's essential character is that of a paper wall covering with a textile surface, it may belong in Chapter 48. The essential-character test under GRI 3 applies when the product is a composite of textile and paper; a customs broker or binding ruling request can resolve ambiguous cases.
