Classification of wall calendars under HS 4910.00
Wall calendars are classified under HS code 4910.00. This classification falls within Chapter 49, which encompasses printed books, newspapers, pictures, and other products of the printing industry. Heading 4910 specifically addresses calendars of any kind, printed, including calendar blocks. The classification is based on the essential character of the item as a chronological reference. Wall calendars typically consist of sheets of paper or paperboard bound by wire, staples, or adhesive, featuring dates, weeks, and months. This code applies regardless of the presence of decorative illustrations, photographs, or advertising matter, provided the calendar remains the primary function. The material is usually paper-based, but the code also covers calendars printed on other materials like textile fabrics, provided they are not primarily decorative tapestries. The Harmonized System treats all printed calendars as a single category, ensuring that whether it is a simple office planner or a high-end photographic wall calendar, it remains under 4910.00.

Codes often confused with 4910.00
Common mistake. Wall calendars are often confused with HS code 4820, which covers registers, account books, notebooks, and diaries. While a diary is a form of calendar, 4820 is for items intended for writing, whereas 4910 is for printed reference calendars. Additionally, wall calendars featuring significant artwork are sometimes misclassified under 4911.91 (pictures, designs, and photographs), but if a calendar grid is present, 4910.00 takes precedence as the more specific heading.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
