CLA-2-49:OT:RR:NC:N4:434 The various stickers, packaged together and put up for the common activity of journaling, are considered a set for customs purposes under General Rule of Interpretation 3(b) (GRI 3(b)). Sets are classified according to the component, or components taken together, which can be regarded as conferring on the set as a whole its essential character. In this case, the printed stickers confer the essential character of the set, as they predominate over the mostly blank stickers and those with repetitive designs, such as polka dots, which are classifiable in chapter 48, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) . The applicable subheading for the packaged sticker sheets will be 4911.91.2040, HTSUS, which provides for “Other printed matter… Other pictures, designs and photographs: Printed not over 20 years at the time of importation: Other: Lithographs on paper or paperboard: Not over 0.51 mm in thickness: Other.” The rate of duty will be Free. Duty rates are provided for your convenience and are subject to change. The text of the most recent HTSUS and the accompanying duty rates are provided on the World Wide Web at https://hts.usitc.gov/current.
