Import Tips
• Include mockups or binding plans proving use in children's picture books to meet 'suitable for 4901' criteria
• Avoid including standalone pictures without text context, as they may shift to general 4911.91
• Label shipments clearly as 'unbound book components' to prevent customs confusion with retail prints
