Import Tips
• Label shipments with exact man-made fiber type (e.g
• 100% polyester) and weave structure to match 621 tariff line
• Provide printer compatibility specs in docs to distinguish from non-impression ribbons
• Avoid bundling with printer parts; classify as standalone ribbon to stay in 9612
