Last updated: April 2026 dataChina is the dominant supplier of printed calendars to the US market, and goods of Chinese origin under this heading are subject to Section 301 tariffs — a cost factor that has pushed some buyers toward Vietnam and South Korea. The US schedule subdivides the heading by printing method and paper thickness: lithographic calendars on paper or paperboard not over 0.51 mm (4910002000), calendars on paper or paperboard over 0.51 mm (4910004000), and all other printed calendars including calendar blocks (4910006000). Classification hinges on both the printing process and substrate thickness, making accurate technical documentation from the foreign manufacturer essential at entry.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
The US tariff schedule splits calendars by substrate thickness — those printed on paper or paperboard not over 0.51 mm are classified separately from those on thicker stock. Importers should obtain mill certificates or technical data sheets from their supplier confirming the exact caliper of the substrate to ensure the correct 10-digit line is declared at entry.
Yes. Lithographically printed calendars on paper or paperboard are assigned their own lines (4910002000 and 4910004000 depending on thickness), while calendars produced by other printing methods fall under the 'NESOI' line (4910006000). Suppliers should specify the printing process on commercial invoices to support accurate classification.
