Last updated: July 2026 dataOffset, digital, flexographic, and gravure printing for advertising, packaging, periodicals, and business forms all fall within this category — screen printing and book production are explicitly excluded and classified separately. Trade professionals importing commercially printed materials must identify the specific printing process used, as customs authorities may scrutinize production method declarations to confirm correct classification. Printed advertising inserts, catalogs, and labels are among the highest-volume imported items in this segment.

Screen printing and book production have distinct production economics, equipment bases, and trade patterns that warrant separate statistical tracking. Screen printing appears in its own NAICS line, while book printing is captured under 323117, allowing more precise analysis of each segment's import and export activity.
Importers generally need a commercial invoice specifying the printing process, substrate, and intended use, along with a packing list and bill of lading. If the materials contain copyrighted content, CBP may request evidence of authorization. Correct HTS classification — which varies by substrate and printing method — should be confirmed with a licensed customs broker before shipment.
