Import Tips & Compliance

Document lid and pot as one 'article' per US Note to headings 6911; separate import risks higher duties or reclassification

Test for bone chinaware (25%+ calcined bone) if claimed, as it affects value-based duties in related subheadings

Avoid bulk packaging mimicking industrial use; retail-ready presentation supports tableware classification
