U.S. imports of Carbon Paper, Self-Copy & Transfer Papers (Rolls Over 36 cm Wide or Large Sheets) (SITC 64131) totaled $4.2M in August 2026, imported from 22 countries.
Importers of Carbon Paper, Self-Copy & Transfer Papers (Rolls Over 36 cm Wide or Large Sheets) paid $478K in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 11.38% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: August 2026 dataCarbon paper, carbonless self-copy paper, and other transfer papers in this heading are sized for commercial and industrial use — rolls exceeding 36 cm in width or rectangular sheets with at least one dimension over 36 cm — distinguishing them from smaller-format consumer or office products. Carbonless copy paper (NCR paper) dominates modern trade in this category, with the chemical microcapsule coating on the reverse side being the functional element that differentiates it from plain paper at classification. Importers should confirm roll width and sheet dimensions precisely, as the 36 cm threshold is a hard classification boundary that determines whether a shipment falls here or in a smaller-format heading.

Yes — carbonless self-copy paper is explicitly included in this heading alongside traditional carbon paper and other transfer papers, provided the size criteria are met (rolls over 36 cm wide or sheets with one dimension over 36 cm). The functional coating method differs, but both products serve the same copying/transfer purpose and share the same SITC classification.
No. The heading requires rolls over 36 cm in width; a roll measuring exactly 36 cm falls below the threshold and would be classified in the heading covering smaller-format copying papers. Importers should verify roll width from the mill's production specification sheet, as nominal and actual widths can differ slightly and the distinction has duty implications.
