HS Code 481420

HS code 481420 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Wallpaper and similar wallcoverings; window transparencies of paper : Wallpaper and similar wallcoverings, consisting of paper coated or covered, on the face side, with a grained, embossed, coloured, designprinted or otherwise decorated layer of plastics". The first two digits (48) are the chapter — Paper and paperboard; articles of paper pulp — and digits 3-4 (4814) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.

Common products classified under 481420 include vinyl wallpaper, plastic wallpaper, washable wallpaper, coated wallpaper, embossed wallpaper and similar items matching wallpaper and similar wallcoverings. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.

Duty is set by the destination country, not by the 6-digit HS code alone. Start from the official tariff of your market — USITC HTS (US), TARIC / Access2Markets (EU), GOV.UK Trade Tariff (UK), CBSA (Canada), ABF (Australia) or Singapore Customs — and look up the full national code with China as the country of origin.

The first 6 digits (481420) are the same worldwide under the WCO Harmonized System. Beyond that, each country extends the code (HTS in the US, TARIC in the EU, etc.) and sets its own duty and tax rates.

Treat a supplier-provided code as a clue, not a final classification. It can be incomplete, China-export-specific, or mismatched to your destination's rules. Verify against the official tariff and your product's actual material and use.
