Last updated: April 2026 dataPrinted paper and paperboard labels are a high-volume input for consumer goods, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and logistics packaging, and the US schedule subdivides them between lithographically printed labels (4821102000) and all other printed labels (4821104000). Canada and Mexico are the leading suppliers, consistent with tightly integrated North American packaging supply chains, though China and Germany also contribute meaningfully. The printing process — lithographic versus other methods such as flexographic or digital — is the operative distinction between the two 10-digit lines, making press-technology documentation important at entry.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
The lithographic process involves offset or direct lithography using planographic plates. Importers should retain press-run documentation, printer certifications, or production records identifying the printing method. Labels produced by flexographic, gravure, digital, or screen-printing processes do not qualify for 4821102000 and instead fall under the NESOI line 4821104000.
No. Each label type must be classified according to its own printing process. A mixed shipment should be itemized on the commercial invoice by printing method, with quantities and values allocated to 4821102000 (lithographic) and 4821104000 (other printed) separately to ensure accurate entry and avoid potential penalties for misclassification.
