4911.91.40 - Other

This classification, HTS Code 4911.91.40, pertains to "Other" printed matter that falls under the broader category of printed pictures and photographs, specifically those not over 20 years old at the time of importation. It encompasses a wide array of printed visual materials that do not fit into more specific subheadings within this chapter. The defining characteristic is that these are printed images or designs on paper or paperboard, excluding items like books, newspapers, or printed music.

This category distinguishes itself from its sibling, "Lithographs on paper or paperboard," by its more general nature. While lithographs are a specific printing technique often applied to pictures and photographs, this "Other" category captures a broader spectrum of printed visuals, including those produced by methods other than lithography, or those where the printing technique is not the primary defining characteristic for classification. The key differentiator is the absence of a more specific classification for the item.

Within this "Other" category, further subdivisions exist to provide more granular classification. The subcategories, such as "Posters" (4911.91.40.20) and "Other" (4911.91.40.40), acknowledge that within the broad scope of printed pictures and photographs, certain types warrant their own distinct treatment due to their commonality or specific characteristics. This allows for more precise tariff application based on the exact nature and intended use of the printed visual material.
