Import Tips
• 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
