Import Tips
• Include origin certificates confirming plastic type and ornamental intent to differentiate from toys
• Declare accurate dimensions and weights; oversized items may trigger valuation scrutiny
• Watch for reclassification if sold with mounting stakes—purely ornamental avoids tool headings
