Analysis
HTS 4908.90.00 covers transfers (decalcomanias): other under heading 4908 (transfers (decalcomanias)).
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 29 tariff lines in chapter 49. Free here means free of the base duty only: origin-specific Chapter 99 duties such as Section 301 can still be owed.
The other line in the same group is 4908.10.00 (transfers (decalcomanias), vitrifiable, duty-free).
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 323111 (Commercial Printing (except Screen and Books)), an industry of 15,140 US establishments employing 280,276 people. That is the industry code a US manufacturer of the same product would normally use.
Every edition we compared, from Jan 2023 to Oct 2026 (Rev. 22), shows the same general rate of Free.
