Import Tips
• Use protective packaging for fragile ceramics; declare as 'fragile ornamental porcelain' on commercial docs
• If hand-decorated post-firing, note low-temp processes don't affect 'fired' status per Chapter 69 note (b)
• Register patterns if importing multiple identical pieces to facilitate 'specified sets' valuation if applicable
