Import Tips
• Label shipments clearly as 'empty typewriter ribbon cassettes' to distinguish from filled ribbons under 3926.90.45
• Provide manufacturer specs confirming plastic construction and ribbon-specific design for accurate HTS verification
• Avoid common pitfall of undervaluing; declare full retail value including any branding to prevent anti-dumping scrutiny
