Overview

HTS Code 4911.91.40.20 specifically classifies printed posters. These are typically large-format printed sheets intended for display, often for advertising, artistic, informational, or decorative purposes. The content can vary widely, including movie posters, event advertisements, artistic reproductions, or educational charts. The defining characteristic is their primary function as a visually communicative item designed for public or private display.

While this category is under "Other printed matter, including printed pictures and photographs," and further refined to "Pictures, designs and photographs: Printed not over 20 years at time of importation: Other: Other," it distinguishes itself by the specific format and intended use as a poster. It is differentiated from its sibling category, 4911.91.40.40 (also "Other"), by the common understanding and function associated with a "poster" as opposed to other types of printed pictorial matter that might not be intended for display in the same manner.

As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the focus remains on the precise definition of "posters" within the broader context of printed matter. Classification under this code relies on the item being a printed graphic on paper or similar material, intended for mounting or hanging, and not primarily a book, newspaper, or other bound or multi-page publication.
