Here's what I could find..

For Definition Purposes:

1. What is an article?
For the purpose of CDR reporting, an “article” is defined at 40 CFR 704.3 as:
“Article means a manufactured item
(1) which is formed to a specific shape or design during manufacture,
(2) which has end use function(s) dependent in whole or in part upon its shape or design
during end use, and
(3) which has either no change of chemical composition during its end use or only those
changes of composition which have no commercial purpose separate from that of the
article, and that result from a chemical reaction that occurs upon end use of other
chemical substances, mixtures, or articles;
except that fluids and particles are not considered articles regardless of shape or design.”

Specifically for Pens/Markers:

These items are not considered articles:
(1) Ink in pens, caulk in canisters, substances or mixtures in aerosol cans, lighter fluid in refill
cans. While these substances or mixtures are contained within an article at the point of
import, they are intended to be removed from that article and have an end use or
commercial purpose separate from the containing article.

So according to all that you should check the negative certification line on the TSCA form.

Hope that helps.
