Import Tips & Compliance

β€’ Verify the album is bound and designed exclusively for sample or collection storage to qualify under 4820.50; loose sheets may shift to heading 4823

β€’ Include detailed product specs and photos in entry documentation to distinguish from notebooks or diaries in 4820.10-4820.40

β€’ Check for prohibited materials like PVC in pages if targeting eco-conscious markets; common pitfall is undervaluation of printed inserts
