Import Tips
• Verify the exact value per gross on commercial invoices to ensure placement in 3926.90.65.30; undervaluation can trigger audits
• Include material composition certificates confirming 100% plastic construction to avoid reclassification to wooden articles
• Label packages clearly with quantity per gross and value to facilitate CBP examination and prevent delays
