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
