About this HS Code
HS Code 4811 encompasses paper and paperboard coated, impregnated, covered, surface-colored, decorated, or printed. The classification includes detailed subcategories for tarred/bituminized papers (4811.10), gummed/adhesive papers (4811.41-4811.49), plastic-coated papers (4811.51-4811.59), and papers with other coatings/treatments (4811.60-4811.90). This value-added category transforms basic paper into specialized materials with enhanced performance characteristics. Products include release papers, packaging materials with barrier properties, decorative laminates, and various functional papers. Technical specifications focus on coating weight, adhesion properties, surface characteristics, and functional performance attributes. Unlike basic papers (HS 4802-4805), these treated materials offer additional functionality through applied coatings or treatments. This division represents significant processing beyond papermaking, incorporating coating technologies, lamination processes, and specialized surface treatments to create papers with specific performance characteristics.
