4802.40.00

Analysis

HTS 4802.40.00 covers wallpaper base (hanging paper) under heading 4802 (uncoated paper and paperboard, of a kind used for writing, printing or other graphic…).

Goods classified here enter the United States duty-free at the general (normal trade relations) rate, as do about 100% of the 225 tariff lines in chapter 48. Chapter 99 measures such as Section 301 or 232 can still apply on top, depending on where the goods come from.

Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 32212 (Paper Mills), an industry of 188 US establishments employing 42,893 people. That is the industry code a US manufacturer of the same product would normally use.

Goods from countries without normal trade relations pay the column 2 rate of 10% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 10% duty.

All 42 neighbouring lines carry the same duty-free rate, so a borderline choice between them changes the statistics reported, not the duty paid.

Every edition we compared, from Jan 2023 to Oct 2026 (Rev. 22), shows the same general rate of Free.
