Last updated: July 2026 dataWallpaper and similar wallcoverings with a plastic decorative layer — whether grained, embossed, or otherwise surface-decorated — serve the residential and commercial interior design markets as a durable, washable alternative to plain paper wallcoverings. The United Kingdom and China are the leading US import sources under this heading, with Italy and Belgium also notable suppliers, reflecting both heritage design houses and high-volume manufacturing. All imports enter under 4814200000; the plastic-coating requirement is the key technical distinction from the residual wallcovering heading 481490.

576 shipments/mo
Heading 481420 requires that the paper substrate be coated or covered on its face side with a grained, embossed, or otherwise decorated layer of plastics. Wallcoverings lacking a plastic surface layer — such as those with textile, cork, or other non-plastic decorative finishes — would fall under the NESOI provision at 481490.
Imported wallcoverings must comply with US Customs country-of-origin marking requirements. Additionally, products sold at retail may need to meet flammability standards under applicable CPSC regulations. Importers should verify that commercial invoices and packaging accurately reflect the plastic-coating construction to support correct classification.
