Import Tips
• Confirm the board erases cleanly with dry markers; sticky or non-erasable surfaces may shift classification
• Document surface composition (e.g
• melamine) and frame type for customs valuation
• Avoid bundling with markers or erasers unless sold separately to prevent set classification issues
