Toilet paper — tissue paper wound into rolls for sanitary use — is a high-volume consumer staple with Canada and Mexico as the leading US import sources, reflecting the cost advantages of integrated North American fiber and converting supply chains. Indonesia and China have grown as lower-cost suppliers, and Vietnam also contributes meaningfully. Basis weight, ply count, sheet dimensions, and whether the product is embossed or perforated are the commercial specifications that differentiate retail consumer rolls from institutional or jumbo rolls, though all fall within this single heading. The entire heading resolves to one US 10-digit line (4818100000), so classification disputes are rare, but importers should be aware that antidumping investigations have periodically targeted tissue products from specific origins.
