Import Tips
• Verify the mounts are specifically for photographic slides (e.g
• 50x50mm standard size) to justify 3926.90.5000; general photo frames go to 3926.90.3000
• Provide detailed product specs and images showing slide insertion mechanism in entry documentation to prevent CBP reclassification
• Check for any metal reinforcements, as predominant plastic composition keeps it in Chapter 39; significant metal may shift to Chapter 73
