Import Tips
• Label shipments clearly as 'printed greeting cards' and attach HTS justification to counter potential paper classification
• Comply with US content labeling if cards include religious or cultural motifs to avoid delays
• Watch for envelope inclusion; if dominant, it may trigger review under packaging rules
