Import Tips
• Measure basis weight of paperboard cover to ensure it meets paperboard criteria; thin covers risk notebook vs. book confusion
• Declare exact page ruling (lined vs. blank) as customs may check for exercise book traits
• Avoid common pitfall of undervaluing premium bindings, which triggers audits
