Import Tips
• Verify the publication is issued at regular intervals (e.g
• monthly) to qualify as a periodical; sporadic issues may shift classification
• Include proof of printing method (e.g
• offset lithography) as per chapter note 2; declare if reproduced via ADP machine
• Avoid binding in non-paper covers, as bound journals go to 4901; common pitfall is misdeclaring frequency
