Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 491000 when importing or exporting printed calendars, including wall calendars, desk calendars, and calendar blocks. For example, if you're shipping a set of printed wall calendars featuring scenic photography, this code applies directly.

This code specifically covers all types of printed calendars, whether they are designed for personal use, promotional purposes, or as part of a product bundle. In contrast, HS-6 491001 relates to calendars that are not printed but are made from other materials, like electronic versions.

When considering HS-6 491000, think about the packaging and presentation. For instance, a calendar sold in a decorative box or as part of a gift set would still fall under this classification, while a plain, unprinted calendar block might require a different code.

If you're unsure whether your product fits this HS-6, consider the end-use and the printed nature of the calendar. Products like planners or diaries, which may include calendar pages, would not be classified here but rather under a different heading.
