4819.50.30

Analysis

HTS 4819.50.30 covers other packing containers, including record sleeves: record sleeves under heading 4819 (cartons, boxes, cases, bags and other packing containers, of paper, paperboard, cellulose…).

The normal trade relations rate here is zero, shared by about 100% of the 225 tariff lines in chapter 48, a useful check when a neighbouring dutiable line is a candidate. Chapter 99 measures such as Section 301 or 232 can still apply on top, depending on where the goods come from.

The other lines in the same group are 4819.50.20 (sanitary food and beverage containers, duty-free) and 4819.50.40 (other packing containers, including record sleeves: other, duty-free).

Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 322299 (All Other Converted Paper Product Manufacturing), an industry of 331 US establishments employing 12,827 people. That concordance is how imports of this line are compared with US output.

All 2 neighbouring lines carry the same duty-free rate, so a borderline choice between them changes the statistics reported, not the duty paid.

Every edition we compared, from Jan 2023 to Oct 2026 (Rev. 22), shows the same general rate of Free.
