Import Tips
• Treat pedestal and basin as one 'article' per US notes if imported together; value them jointly for statistical reporting
• Ensure no metal reinforcements, as those could shift to Chapter 73; declare pure ceramic composition
• Obtain country-of-origin certificates, as many porcelain fixtures qualify for GSP duty reductions
