4901.99.00.30 - Directories 🖩

This HTS classification covers printed directories, which are publications containing lists of names, addresses, and other contact information for individuals or businesses, often organized alphabetically or by category. These directories are generally not considered textbooks, bound newspapers, journals, or periodicals, which are specified in sibling categories. The primary function of goods classified here is to provide accessible reference information rather than educational content or regular serial publications.

Examples of goods falling under this category include telephone directories, business white pages, professional association listings, and specialized industry directories. The key characteristic is the organized compilation of contact details for a specific group or region. The classification emphasizes the directory's purpose of facilitating communication and access to information about entities.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification is definitive for printed directories not otherwise specified. Classification decisions at this level would rely on a thorough examination of the publication's content, format, and intended use to ensure it accurately represents a directory and does not fit into a more specific or designated category.
