Import Tips

• Label as 'gel ink' distinctly from standard ballpoint ink; ensure MSDS for gel formulations if required

• Confirm ball diameter (e.g

• 0.7mm) matches ballpoint definition to prevent reclassification

• Avoid bulk packaging over 100 units per carton to minimize valuation disputes on commercial shipments
