Import Tips

• Verify ink composition and tip material to confirm porous-tipped classification; non-porous tips may shift to ballpoint pens under 9608.10

• Include detailed product specs and samples in documentation to avoid misclassification as toys if marketed for children (Chapter 95)

• Label country of origin clearly, as markers often face anti-dumping duties from specific origins like China
