Import Tips

Verify ribbon width is under 30mm and cartridge is plastic/metal for permanent housing to qualify under this subheading

Include machine compatibility documentation to prove use in typewriters or ADP machines; declare ink type accurately

Watch for country-of-origin marking on cartridges; common pitfall is classifying as parts of printers under 8443 if not standalone
