- 49: Chapter 49 covers Printed Books, Newspapers, Pictures and other products of the printing industry; manuscripts, typescripts and plans.
- 11: Specifically refers to other printed matter.

Important Considerations & Recommendations:
- Material Composition: The material of the box cover is crucial. If it's made of special materials (e.g., plastic, coated paper with specific properties), it might fall under a different HS code related to plastics or paper products.
- Function: Is the box cover solely for packaging, or does it have advertising elements? The presence of significant advertising content strengthens the case for
4911 10 00 80. - Detailed Description: Provide a more detailed description of the box cover to customs. Include dimensions, printing details, and the product it's intended to package.
- Certification: Depending on the product being packaged, specific certifications might be required for import.
- Post April 2, 2025: Be aware of the tariff changes taking effect after April 2, 2025. The additional tariff will increase to 30%.
- Verify with Customs: It is highly recommended to consult directly with Chinese customs authorities or a licensed customs broker to confirm the correct HS code for your specific product. Providing them with a sample of the box cover is often helpful.
