Import Tips & Compliance
• Declare as 'stone article' not 'lamp part' to prevent shifts to Chapter 94; include photos showing incompleteness
• Obtain material test reports confirming alabaster composition, as misidentification leads to higher marble duties
• Watch for set sales with electrical components, which may trigger heading 9405 classification
