3926.90.48.00 - Photo albums

This HTS classification covers photo albums made from plastics. These are typically bound volumes designed for the organized storage and display of photographic prints, often featuring protective sleeves or adhesive pages. The key defining characteristic is their primary function as a receptacle for photographs, distinguishing them from general plastic containers or general stationery items.

While other articles of plastics are classified under heading 3926, photo albums are specifically carved out to ensure consistent tariff treatment for these common consumer goods. Unlike sibling categories such as buckets, pacifiers, or specific medical or marine-related articles, photo albums are differentiated by their dedicated purpose of preserving photographic memories. Their construction will generally involve plastic covers, binding mechanisms, and transparent or adhesive pages to hold pictures.

As a leaf node, 3926.90.48.00 represents a specific and final classification. Therefore, further subdivisions do not exist under this code. Classification at this level relies on the precise description of the item as a photo album, manufactured from plastic materials, and its intended use in storing and presenting photographs.
