Tariff classification

HTS codes: 4911.91.4040

Headings: 4911

Product description

It is a 4 1/4" x 6 1/4" sheet of thin, flexible plastic film, printed with a colorful, cartoon-style picture of vampires and bats, laminated to a stiff paper backing. The resulting "card" thus has a glossy pictorial face and a totally blank back; it is evidently not intended to be used as a picture postcard. It is put up for sale in printed retail packaging which encourages the purchaser to stare at the card's picture in a certain way to experience a three-dimensional viewing effect.

CBP rationale

The applicable subheading for the "3-D Halloween Card" (Rite Aid item #95033) will be 4911.91.4040, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other (non- enumerated) printed pictures.
