Import Tips

Verify the set contains at least two different subheading items (e.g

pens + pencils) to avoid reclassification as individual items

Include detailed packing lists specifying quantities and types from each 9608 subheading for CBP review

Ensure retail packaging labels the contents clearly to prevent duties under separate headings
