Important Considerations:
- Card Features: The classification depends heavily on the card's features. A simple printed card is likely 4909.00.20.00 or 4909.00.40.00. If it has significant interactive or entertainment elements, 9505.90.60.00 might be more appropriate.
- Material: The material composition of the card is crucial. If it contains a high percentage of plastic, other HS codes might apply (though less likely for a standard greeting card).
- Intended Use: Consider the primary intended use of the card. Is it primarily for sending a greeting, or is it designed as a toy or entertainment item?
Recommendation:
To ensure accurate classification, please provide more details about the card's features, materials, and intended use. If the card is complex, it's advisable to consult with a customs broker or seek an official classification ruling from the relevant customs authority.
