4905.90.60.00 - Other

This HTS classification, 4905.90.60.00, covers "Other" printed maps and charts that do not fall under the specific category of globes. It serves as a residual category within heading 4905, which pertains to maps and hydrographic or similar charts of all kinds, including atlases and wall maps. Therefore, this classification is intended for any printed cartographic material that is not a three-dimensional globe.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 4905.90.20.00 (Globes), is straightforward. While globes are explicitly defined as spherical representations of the Earth or celestial bodies, this "Other" category encompasses all other forms of printed maps and charts. This includes, but is not limited to, flat wall maps, folded maps, maps printed in atlases, topographical plans, nautical charts, and aeronautical charts. The defining characteristic is that they are printed representations of geographical or spatial information.

As this node is a leaf node, it does not have further subcategories. Classification within 4905.90.60.00 is determined by exclusion of the more specific globe classification. If a printed map or chart is not a globe, it will be classified here, provided it meets the general requirements of heading 4905, which emphasizes printed materials of a cartographic nature.
