Import Tips

• Label as 'gel ink ballpoint' explicitly; gel formulation doesn't change ballpoint classification

• Ensure retractable mechanism complies with child safety standards if targeted at students

• Batch import in original packaging to prevent scatter as loose parts under different headings
