Overview
This HTS classification, 4901.99.00.65, pertains to printed books, brochures, leaflets, and similar printed matter that are of the "Other" category within the "Other" subdivisions, specifically designated as "Art and pictorial books" valued at $5 or more each. This category encompasses a wide array of printed materials featuring artistic content or predominantly illustrative elements, such as art exhibition catalogs, coffee table books showcasing photography or art, illustrated children's books (if valued at $5 or more), and art prints bound into book form. The key defining factor for inclusion here is the significant artistic or pictorial nature of the content.
This specific classification is distinguished from its sibling, 4901.99.00.60, solely by the value threshold. While both cover "Other" art and pictorial books, 4901.99.00.65 applies to items individually valued at $5 or more, whereas 4901.99.00.60 is for those valued under $5. This value distinction is crucial for accurate customs declarations and duty assessment.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories under 4901.99.00.65. Classification decisions at this level rely entirely on the assessment of the item's printed content as art or pictorial, and its individual retail or transactional value. Therefore, importers and exporters must carefully evaluate both the nature of the artwork or illustrations and the price of each unit to ensure correct classification.
