Import Tips
• Ensure the pencils are classified under 9609.10.00 even if marketed for children, as the tariff item does not distinguish by age group
• Verify that any attached erasers or decorations do not constitute separate articles that could affect classification
• Provide a clear product description to avoid confusion with crayons or other writing tools
