Import Tips
• Measure maximum dimension accurately; bowls near 15.3 cm qualify as 'cereals' if value exceeds $6/dozen
• Retain manufacturer specs showing stoneware body to prevent misclassification as earthenware or porcelain
• Import in bulk rather than retail packaging to simplify declaration if not part of specified sets
