Overview
This HTS subheading covers globes, which are spherical representations of the Earth or celestial bodies. These items are typically printed, providing geographical or astronomical information. The classification specifically pertains to globes as distinct from other forms of cartographic or printed material.
This category is distinguished from its sibling, 4905.90.60.00 ("Other"), which would encompass printed maps, hydrographic charts, atlases, wall maps, and topographical plans that do not fall under the specific descriptor of "globes." The defining characteristic for classification here is the spherical form and its function as a globe.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification decisions at this level will rely on the precise definition of a "globe" and its printed nature, distinguishing it from other map-like products that might be broadly related but not specifically globes.
