Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 491110 when importing or exporting printed trade advertising materials such as commercial catalogs and brochures. For example, a shipment of 1,000 printed product catalogs for a trade show would fall under this code.
This code specifically covers printed matter that is not classified elsewhere, including various forms of trade advertising material. In contrast, HS-6 491120 includes printed books, which are distinct from the advertising focus of this line.
If you're dealing with printed flyers or promotional brochures, this HS-6 is your go-to classification. It’s important to differentiate between this and HS-6 491190, which covers other printed matter that may not be advertising-related.
