Import Tips
• Verify that maps are printed and bound in book form, not loose sheets or digital, to avoid reclassification under 4911
• Include publisher's documentation confirming 'in book form' to support HTS 4905.20.00.00 classification during customs review
• Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as advertising materials, which shifts to heading 4911
