Import Tips
• Verify the lid is permanently attached and made of pewter to qualify under this specific subheading; removable lids may shift to other codes
• Provide lab test results confirming porcelain/china body with water absorption ≤0.5% per ASTM C373 to avoid reclassification as earthenware
• Include detailed invoices specifying 'permanently attached pewter lid' to prevent scrutiny at entry
