Import Tips
• Provide authentication certificates or dated publications proving the print is over 20 years old to avoid reclassification
• Declare as non-antique printed matter; items over 100 years may shift to Chapter 97
• Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as modern art reproductions, which fall under different subheadings
