Sourcing this category from India

HS 4904.00 covers Music; printed or in manuscript, whether or not bound or illustrated. It is a leaf classification, so it sets the duty line directly for goods that fall under it. India's large printing and publishing industry exports books, calendars, cards and printed labels. India exported $618 under this code worldwide in 2024, ranking #1 of 1 lines in its heading (UN Comtrade).

How to read this code

4904.00 is the six-digit HS subheading for music. To clear customs your destination country extends it to a full 8–10 digit code and assigns the duty rate. India's preferential trade agreements (UAE CEPA, Australia ECTA, and others) can reduce or zero out that duty on many pulp, paper & paperboard lines — check our import guides for your market.
