4911.10.00.60 - Tourist and other literature (including posters), containing geographic, historical, hotel, institutional, timetable, travel or similar information, principally with respect to places, travel facilities or educational opportunities outside the customs territory of the United States

This HTS classification, 4911.10.00.60, specifically addresses tourist and other literature designed to promote travel, accommodations, or educational opportunities outside the United States. The core defining characteristic is its principal focus on geographic, historical, hotel, institutional, timetable, travel, or similar information pertaining to destinations or services located beyond the U.S. customs territory. Examples include brochures for foreign resorts, guidebooks to international cities, or pamphlets detailing overseas study programs.

It is important to distinguish this category from its sibling classifications. Unlike 4911.10.00.20 and 4911.10.00.40, which cover trade advertising material and catalogs relating to the sale of U.S. or foreign products respectively, this category is not primarily about the sale or rental of tangible goods. Instead, its purpose is informational and promotional for services and experiences outside the U.S. Furthermore, it differs from the general "Other" category (4911.10.00.80) by its specific emphasis on travel, tourism, and educational opportunities abroad.

As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, classification within 4911.10.00.60 hinges entirely on the principal purpose and content of the printed matter. If the material predominantly serves to inform potential travelers, tourists, or students about attractions, facilities, or educational institutions located outside the U.S., it will fall under this specific code. The emphasis is on encouraging engagement with foreign destinations or opportunities, rather than on the direct commercial transaction of goods.
