Import Tips
• Verify the frame is primarily plastic with any metal hardware not exceeding principal material thresholds to avoid reclassification
• Include detailed invoices specifying dimensions, material composition (e.g
• polystyrene), and 'picture frame' description for CBP review
• Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as 'wall decor' which could shift to heading 3926; ensure standalone frame functionality
