• Verify the pen's filling mechanism (e.g
• piston or cartridge) to confirm fountain pen classification and avoid misfiling under ballpoint pens
• Include detailed invoices specifying nib material and origin to comply with marking requirements for precious metal components
• Beware of sets with refills, which may shift to HTS 9608.99 if including parts like caps or clips
