4809.90.60.00 - Duplex 🖩

This HTS category, 4809.90.60.00, specifically covers duplex decalcomania paper. Decalcomania paper, in general, refers to paper designed for transferring images or designs onto surfaces. Duplex paper, in this context, indicates a paper constructed with two layers, often designed to facilitate a specific type of transfer process or to provide enhanced properties for applications like decals. The "Duplex" designation is the primary differentiator for goods falling under this specific code.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 4809.90.40.00, which covers "Simplex" decalcomania paper. The core difference lies in the construction: simplex refers to single-layered paper, whereas duplex paper, classified here, is multi-layered. This structural distinction is crucial for customs classification and often relates to the method of image application and the final durability or aesthetic of the transferred design.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 4809.90.60.00 relies on identifying decalcomania paper that is demonstrably constructed with two distinct layers, distinguishing it from simplex alternatives and other types of copying or transfer papers covered by broader HTS headings. The intended use as decalcomania paper and its duplex construction are the defining characteristics for correct classification.
