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 main contents:

  • Books: Includes various types of books, such as novels, textbooks, reference books, etc.
  • Printed matter: Includes posters, flyers, advertising brochures, calendars, postcards, etc.
  • Maps and plans: Includes various types of maps, nautical charts, architectural drawings, etc.

Reason for classification:

This classification is determined based on the physical form and purpose of the goods. These goods are produced through printing technology and are mainly used for information transmission, education, promotion, and record-keeping. They all belong to printed matter made of paper or similar materials, and therefore are classified under Chapter 49.

It should be noted that there are more detailed subcategories within Chapter 49. The exact HS code for a specific product needs to be determined based on its content, binding method, whether it contains other materials, and other factors.
