4909.00.40.00 - Other

This HTS category, 4909.00.40.00, encompasses "Other" printed cards that fall under the broader heading for printed or illustrated postcards and greeting cards. Unlike the sibling category 4909.00.20.00 which specifically covers traditional postcards, this designation serves as a residual category for printed cards that do not fit the definition of a postcard but still align with the scope of Chapter 49, specifically section X.

The goods classified here are printed cards bearing personal greetings, messages, or announcements, which may be illustrated and can be provided with or without envelopes or other trimmings. This category is intended for items that are primarily functional as a form of communication or announcement through printing, but may not possess the typical format or usage of a postcard. Examples might include custom printed announcement cards for events, personalized business cards with a message, or other similar printed paper products that are not strictly postcards.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification within 4909.00.40.00 is determined by its exclusion from more specific categories and its adherence to the general description of printed cards for personal greetings, messages, or announcements under heading 4909.00. The determining factors for classification will include the nature of the printed content, the format of the card, and its intended purpose as a means of conveying a message or announcement.
