Import Tips

• Label products clearly as 'mechanical pencils' with lead size to distinguish from ballpoint pens (9608.10)

• Provide assembly diagrams showing internal lead retraction mechanism for customs verification

• Check for country-of-origin marking requirements; mechanical pencils often need 'Made in [Country]' etched on barrel
