Overview
This HTS classification, 4821.90.20.00, specifically designates paper and paperboard labels of all kinds that are self-adhesive. These labels are characterized by an adhesive backing, allowing them to be readily affixed to various surfaces without the need for external adhesives. The "Other" designation at this level indicates that the labels are not specifically defined by their printing status or material composition in the preceding subdivisions.
Within the broader category of "Paper and paperboard labels of all kinds, whether or not printed," this subheading distinguishes itself from its sibling, 4821.90.40.00 ("Other"), by the crucial presence of a self-adhesive feature. While the sibling category encompasses non-adhesive labels or labels with other affixing mechanisms, this classification is exclusively for those with inherent adhesive properties.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, the focus for classification under 4821.90.20.00 rests on confirming the paper or paperboard construction of the label and, most importantly, verifying the presence and functionality of its self-adhesive backing. Examples include labels for product identification, shipping, pricing, or promotional purposes that are designed to be peeled and stuck.
