4901.99.00.93 - Containing 49 or more pages each (excluding covers)

This HTS classification, 4901.99.00.93, pertains to printed books, brochures, leaflets, and similar printed matter that are characterized by a significant page count. Specifically, these items contain 49 or more pages, excluding the covers. This category captures publications that are more substantial in length and content, distinguishing them from shorter formats.

To differentiate from its sibling categories, this classification is strictly for printed matter with a minimum of 49 pages. Items containing 4 pages or fewer (excluding covers) fall under 4901.99.00.91, while those with 5 to 48 pages are classified under 4901.99.00.92. The key distinguishing factor at this level is the precise number of pages, ensuring accurate tariff application based on the physical extent of the printed material.

As a leaf node within the HTS structure, this category does not have further subcategories. Therefore, classification into 4901.99.00.93 relies solely on meeting the criteria of having 49 or more pages, excluding covers. Examples of goods that would fall into this classification include novels, comprehensive reports, academic texts, and lengthy instruction manuals. The focus remains on the "other" category for printed books, excluding single sheets and specific page count ranges, thus encompassing a broad spectrum of longer printed works.
