Analysis
Subheading 4911.91 covers pictures, designs and photographs, within heading 4911. The first six digits are shared by every country that uses the Harmonized System, so this part of the code is the same in the US, UK and EU schedules; the 5 US tariff lines below it are national.
Every one of its 5 tariff lines is duty-free at the general rate, so classification within the subheading affects statistics and Chapter 99 measures rather than the base duty.
The US splits it as follows: 4911.91.10 for printed over 20 years at time of importation (duty-free), 4911.91.15 for suitable for use in the production of articles of heading 4901 (duty-free), 4911.91.20 for not over 0.51 mm in thickness (duty-free), 4911.91.30 for over 0.51 mm in thickness (duty-free) and 4911.91.40 for other: other (duty-free).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Commercial Printing (except Screen and Books) (323111). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
