Import Tips
• Include manufacturer's specs confirming 'suitable for typewriter ribbon' end-use to justify this specific subheading
• Verify no excessive sizing per US note calculation methods (BYT/1000 formula) for accurate yarn number
• Avoid bulk packaging over 200 g/m² equivalent rolls triggering weight-based reclassification
