Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify the pen uses India ink (pigment-based, waterproof) via manufacturer specs to confirm classification under 9608.30; dye-based pens may shift to 9608.20
• Include detailed invoices specifying 'India ink drawing pens' and nib sizes to avoid CBP reclassification as markers
• Ensure packaging labels distinguish from fountain pens; lack of filling mechanism prevents misclassification
