Import Tips
• Ensure the pencil is declared as a propelling pencil under 9608.40.00, not as a ballpoint pen
• Keep the country of origin certificate handy, as duty rates may vary under trade agreements
• If importing in bulk, verify whether the pencils are packaged for retail sale, which could affect valuation
