Import Tips
• Verify total value per gross (144 pieces) stays under 80 cents with invoices; overvaluation risks reclassification
• Ensure 100% plastic construction (no wood) with material certs to avoid Chapter 44 wood articles
• Label as 'household clothespins' clearly; common pitfall is misdeclaring as toys under 9503
