• Printing Process: Confirm the printing method used. Lithography is a common process, but others exist (e.g., digital printing).
• Functionality: Are the dividers simply separators, or do they have additional features (e.g., pockets, labels)? Additional features might necessitate a different classification.
• Detailed Description: Provide a more detailed description of the dividers to ensure accurate classification. For example, specify the material, dimensions, printing details, and any special features.
• Post April 2, 2025: Be aware of the tariff changes taking effect after April 2, 2025. The additional tariff will increase to 30%, impacting the total tax rate.
• Customs Ruling: For complex cases, consider obtaining a binding customs ruling from the relevant authorities to confirm the correct HS code and avoid potential issues during import/export.
