Sourcing this category from India
HS 4905.20 covers Maps and hydrographic or similar charts; printed in book form, including atlases, topographical plans and similar. 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 $89K under this code worldwide in 2024, ranking #2 of 2 lines in its heading (UN Comtrade).
How to read this code
4905.20 is the six-digit HS subheading for maps and hydrographic or similar charts. 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.
In India this same number is called the HSN code (490520): GST registration, invoices and e-way bills all classify goods by HSN, and the applicable GST rate is notified against the 4–8 digit HSN — so Indian suppliers will quote you HSN 490520 for goods under this heading.
