Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify publication frequency with publisher affidavits to confirm less than 4 issues/week for 4902.90.2020 eligibility

• Include invoices specifying 'newspaper, less than 4x/week' and sample copies for CBP review

• Avoid binding in non-paper covers, as that shifts to 4901 per chapter notes
