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
