Import Tips
• Verify the pad is bound (e.g
• glued, stapled, or spiral) to qualify under 4820.10; loose sheets fall under 4820.90
• Include detailed packing lists specifying sheet count, size, and binding type to avoid misclassification
• Check for any printed covers or content; if motifs are primary, it may shift to Chapter 49
