Import Tips
• Verify that beads are made from plastics of headings 3901-3914 and not strung permanently to avoid reclassification
• Provide detailed photos and material composition certificates to confirm plastic content exceeds 95% for polymer classification
• Label as 'handbag' clearly; avoid marketing as jewelry to prevent shifts to Chapter 71
