Import Tips
• Document spiral binding type (wire-o vs comb) to differentiate from perfect-bound items; improper specs can lead to reclassification
• Provide fiber content certification for paper to prevent disputes over paperboard vs. printed matter
• Watch for quota restrictions on certain bound stationery from specific countries
