Import Tips
• Verify the publication is primarily advertising-focused to avoid reclassification to heading 4901; include samples if challenged
• Label with country of origin and ensure ink and paper comply with REACH-like standards for chemical content
• Avoid binding in covers that mimic books, as this could shift to 4901.90
