Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the anti-static liner does not constitute a separate article that could reclassify the sleeve under another heading
• If the sleeve is printed with album artwork, verify the printing is subsidiary to its packing function to avoid Chapter 49
• Declare the sleeve separately from the vinyl record to maintain the 4819.50.00 classification
