Import Tips
• Verify the pattern includes all items listed in U.S
• Note 6(b) (e.g
• 12 dinner plates ~26.7cm, 12 salad plates, etc.) with aggregate value ≤$56 via commercial invoice
• Conduct ASTM C373 water absorption test to confirm porcelain (≤0.5% absorption); earthenware exceeds 3% and shifts classification
• Avoid misdeclaring value—Customs calculates based on offered-for-sale prices; include pattern catalogs as supporting documentation
