Last updated: July 2026 dataWallcoverings not elsewhere specified — including those with textile, cork, or non-plastic decorative finishes — and paper window transparencies occupy this residual heading, serving niche segments of the interior design and architectural markets. The United Kingdom leads US import supply, followed by South Korea and China, a supplier mix that spans premium design-led products and cost-competitive volume production. Imports enter under 4814900200; correct classification depends on confirming the absence of a plastic decorative layer, which would redirect the product to heading 481420.

This heading covers wallcoverings whose decorative surface is not a plastic layer — for example, those faced with textile fibers, natural materials like cork or grass cloth, or plain decorative paper finishes. Paper window transparencies, a distinct product used for decorative glazing, are also classified here.
Classification depends on the essential character and the nature of the face-side decoration. If the face side is covered with a textile material rather than plastics, the product would not qualify for 481420 and should be evaluated under 481490 or potentially a textile chapter heading. A licensed customs broker should review the construction details before filing.
