Import Tips
• Separate from bound notebooks during import to avoid Chapter 48 article headings like 4820
• Test for Mullen burst or similar if strength claims made, but irrelevant for this printing subheading
• Ensure no pre-printing exceeds subsidiary level to prevent shift to Chapter 49 printed matter
