Harmonized System Code Classification

The first two digits of the HS code "49" represent books, printed matter, maps, and plans.

Specifically, this classification includes the following:

• Books: Includes various types of books, such as novels, textbooks, and professional books.
• Printed matter: Includes posters, flyers, calendars, postcards, stickers, etc.
• Maps and plans: Includes various types of maps, architectural drawings, engineering plans, etc.

Reason for classification:

This classification is determined based on the function and use of the goods. These goods are all information transmission and knowledge carriers, mainly used for reading, learning, reference, and communication. Therefore, customs classify them into the "49" chapter.

It should be noted that for a specific product, it is necessary to determine a more precise HS code based on its detailed characteristics and content. For example, children's books, musical scores, comic books, etc., all belong to different sub-items under the "49" chapter.
