Import Tips

Provide evidence like shipping manifests showing ties are temporary for transport only, preventing misclassification

Label shipments clearly as 'unbound periodicals for shipping' to aid CBP inspection and avoid delays

Avoid mixing with bound volumes, as sets under single cover go to heading 4901 per Chapter Note 3
