Import Tips
• Ensure the binder's board sheets are not coated, impregnated, or otherwise processed beyond the adhesive lamination, as this would change the tariff classification
• Verify that the sheets exceed 43 cm by 56 cm in size to qualify as 'not converted' under supplementary note 1
• If the sheets are cut to a smaller size for specific book formats, they may fall under a different heading
