Import Tips

• Verify aggregate value of specified articles (12 each plates/cups/soups/fruits, platter, veg dish, sugar, creamer) ≤$38 using CBP valuation under Tariff Act §402

• Conduct ASTM C373 water absorption test (0.5-3% for stoneware); provide lab certification to confirm not porcelain/earthenware

• Ensure all set components imported together or prove 'available in specified sets' via sales documentation to avoid reclassification
