Import Tips & Compliance

• Include 3-hole punch specifications in documentation but note punches don't affect classification

• Test ruling ink for lightfastness to confirm 'surface-colored' status under chapter 48

• Declare basis weight accurately (typically 15-20 lb); heavier paper may require different tariff treatment
