What determines the tariff number?
- Paper quality and material. Notebooks are made from various paper grades and thicknesses. The paper type and origin affect the precise classification under Swiss nomenclature rules.
- Binding and composition. The binding method (glued, punched, stitched) and the composition of cover and pages influence the tariff code. Different binding techniques lead to different classifications.
- Features and special design. Indexes, pre-printed lines, or extras like ribbon bookmarks are distinguishing features. A plain notebook classifies differently from an agenda book or memo pad with special design elements.
- Size and packaging format. Format, number of pages, and packaging type play a role in determining the exact code. Large formats or special packaging may result in different tariff numbers.
