Import Tips

Certify kraft paper fiber content (80% sulfate if applicable) per subheading notes to validate classification

Declare clasp as metal component separately for accurate duty calculation on mixed materials

Avoid overstating reusability claims that could trigger classification as boxes under 4817.30
