4814.20.00.00 - Wallpaper and similar wallcoverings, consisting of paper coated or covered, on the face side, with a grained, embossed, colored, design-printed or otherwise decorated layer of plastics

HTS 4814.20.00.00 specifically covers wallpaper and similar wallcoverings that are characterized by a plastic layer on the face side. This plastic layer can be applied through various decorative treatments, including graining, embossing, coloring, or printing of designs. Essentially, these are paper-based wall coverings where the visible and decorative surface is made of plastic, providing enhanced durability and aesthetic options.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, HTS 4814.90.02.00 (Other wallpaper and similar wallcoverings; window transparencies of paper), by the explicit presence of a plastic layer on the decorative face. While the "Other" category may include wall coverings with different surface treatments or materials, or those that do not fit the specific plastic-faced criteria of 4814.20.00.00, this subheading is reserved for products where plastic forms the primary decorative and functional surface of the wallpaper.

As HTS 4814.20.00.00 is a leaf node, it does not have further subcategories for classification. Therefore, the focus for classification within this heading is on accurately identifying products that meet the defined criteria of being paper-based wallcoverings with a plastic-coated or covered decorative face, as opposed to other types of decorative wall coverings or paper products.
