HTS tariff line · chapter 49
4901.91.00
Dictionaries and encyclopedias, and serial installments thereof
Analysis
HTS 4901.91.00 covers dictionaries and encyclopedias, and serial installments thereof under heading 4901 (printed books, brochures, leaflets and similar printed matter, whether or not in single…). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 2 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.
For statistics it divides in two: 4901.91.00.20 for dictionaries (including thesauruses) and 4901.91.00.40 for encyclopedias. Both pay the same duty; the suffix records which kind was imported.
There is no general-rate duty on this line, which puts it with roughly 100% of the 29 tariff lines in chapter 49 that are also free. Free here means free of the base duty only: origin-specific Chapter 99 duties such as Section 301 can still be owed.
