Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify bone content ≥25% via lab testing (ASTM C373 for absorption) to confirm bone chinaware status

• Calculate value per dozen pieces accurately; include all costs in transaction value per 19 CFR 152

• Avoid misdeclaration as sets if not 'available in specified sets' per US notes to prevent reclassification
