CHAPTER

48 — Paper and paperboard; articles of paper pulp, of paper or of paperboard

In plain English

This category includes carbon paper, self-copy paper, and other copying or transfer papers, as well as duplicator stencils and offset plates made of paper, regardless of whether they are packaged in boxes. It excludes items classified under a different heading for paper. The first subcategory covers self-copy paper, also excluding items from that other heading, whether or not they are boxed. The second subcategory captures carbon paper and other copying or transfer papers that do not fit into the self-copy paper category.
