For calendars printed on paper or paperboard, determine whether printing was done by a lithographic process.
If lithographic, measure the paper or paperboard thickness: not over 0.51 mm uses 4910.00.20.00; over 0.51 mm uses 4910.00.40.00.
If the calendar is not lithographic on paper or paperboard, use the residual line 4910.00.60.00.
