Import Tips
• Ensure the piñatas are not filled with items that could be regulated (e.g
• food or toys) and declare their value accurately
• If they are imported with candy, the candy may be classified separately, so itemize it on the invoice
• Check if the piñatas have any decorative elements that could change classification, such as metallic trims
