Yes. Imports of paper box files and letter trays classified under 4819600000 and originating from China are subject to Section 301 tariffs. Importers sourcing from China should confirm the applicable List and rate with a licensed customs broker, and many have shifted volume to Vietnam or Mexico to manage exposure.
The key criterion is end-use context: articles of a kind used in offices, shops, or similar settings — such as letter trays, box files, and desktop organizers — fall under heading 4819.60, while general shipping or packaging boxes are classified elsewhere in heading 4819. Physical form, marketing, and commercial documentation all inform the classification determination.
