Import Tips
• Include documentation tracing molds to professional sculptors; CBP may require artist credentials for classification
• Ensure pieces are fired above 800°C post-shaping as per Chapter 69 note (a) to avoid exclusion
• Label as 'ornamental ceramic statue' not 'decoration' to prevent misclassification as Chapter 94 furniture accessory
