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
