4902.90.10.00 - Newspaper supplements printed by a gravure process

This HTS subcategory, 4902.90.10.00, specifically covers newspaper supplements that are produced using a gravure printing process. This classification is relevant for unbound publications that are intended to accompany a primary newspaper edition, but are themselves printed via gravure, a technique known for its high-quality reproduction of images and tonal gradations.

Distinguishing this from its sibling category, 4902.90.20 ("Other"), is crucial. While both fall under "Other" newspaper supplements not specifically enumerated elsewhere, 4902.90.10.00 is precisely defined by the gravure printing method. Therefore, any newspaper supplement not printed by gravure, even if it fits the general description of a supplement, would fall under the broader "Other" category. The key differentiator lies in the manufacturing process of the supplement itself.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 4902.90.10.00 is final, provided the item meets the criteria of being a newspaper supplement and is printed by gravure. This ensures specific identification for goods like illustrated magazines or special inserts distributed with newspapers, provided their printing method aligns with gravure technology.
