Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the ribbon is woven man-made fibre and wider than 30mm
This alternative applies to woven man-made fibre ribbons exceeding 30mm width, which could cover the ribbon if its width is verified differently.
If the ribbon contains man-made fibres but is not woven
This covers other ribbons with man-made fibres, potentially applicable if the nylon construction is non-woven.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm the ribbon is not woven man-made fibre over 30mm wide, which would shift classification to 9612.10.20
• Have documentation ready showing the cartridge is for a typewriter, not a printer, to avoid misclassification
• Check if the correction ribbon is included; if separate, it may need its own tariff classification
