Diaries, notebooks and address books, bound; memorandum pads, letter pads and similar articles
Analysis
HTS 4820.10.20 covers diaries, notebooks and address books, bound; memorandum pads, letter pads and similar articles under heading 4820 (registers, account books, notebooks, order books, receipt books, letter pads, memorandum…). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 5 ten-digit suffixes, reported in number of items.
This line's footnotes point to one additional provision in Chapter 99: 9903.90.08 (measures on products of Russia). Chapter 99 duties are added on top of the general rate for goods of the countries they name, and they change more often than the rest of the schedule, so check the current CBP guidance before you rely on a total.
Goods classified here enter the United States duty-free at the general (normal trade relations) rate, as do about 100% of the 225 tariff lines in chapter 48. Chapter 99 measures such as Section 301 or 232 can still apply on top, depending on where the goods come from.
Goods from countries without normal trade relations pay the column 2 rate of 25% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 25% duty.
