4817.30.00.00 - Boxes, pouches, wallets and writing compendiums, of paper or paperboard, containing an assortment of paper stationery 🖩

This HTS category, 4817.30.00.00, specifically covers assortments of paper stationery contained within boxes, pouches, wallets, or writing compendiums made of paper or paperboard. These items are intended for organizational or gifting purposes, bundling various paper-based stationery items together within a designated container. The key defining characteristic for this classification is the combination of the container and the assortment of stationery it holds.

This classification is distinct from its siblings. For instance, HTS code 4817.10.00.00 exclusively covers envelopes, which are individual paper or paperboard items designed for mailing correspondence. Similarly, HTS code 4817.20 encompasses letter cards, plain postcards, and correspondence cards, which are individual sheets or folded cards intended for written messages without the accompanying container or mixed stationery assortment.

As a leaf node, this category does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, classification within 4817.30.00.00 depends on the presence of a paper or paperboard container that houses an assortment of paper stationery, such as a writing set including notepaper, envelopes, and perhaps a pen or pencil. The focus is on the composite nature of the product rather than individual stationery components.
