HTS tariff line · chapter 49
4911.99.60
Printed on paper in whole or in part by a lithographic process
Analysis
HTS 4911.99.60 covers printed on paper in whole or in part by a lithographic process under heading 4911 (other printed matter, including printed pictures and photographs).
The normal trade relations rate here is zero, shared by about 100% of the 29 tariff lines in chapter 49, a useful check when a neighbouring dutiable line is a candidate. Free here means free of the base duty only: origin-specific Chapter 99 duties such as Section 301 can still be owed.
The other lines in the same group are 4911.99.20 (international customs forms (carnets) and parts thereof, in…, duty-free) and 4911.99.80 (other: other, 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 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.
The general rate of Free has not changed in any edition of the schedule since Jan 2023.
