Import Tips
• Provide evidence linking drum to models in subheading 8443.39.20, such as Ricoh technical manuals or part catalogs
• Label with exact OEM reference numbers to prevent reclassification as generic photoreceptor parts
• Watch for anti-dumping duties on certain Japanese-origin copier drums; check ITC records before import
