Import Tips
• Provide detailed invoice breaking down sculptor model costs to justify value over $2.50 threshold
• Avoid importing with functional items (e.g
• bases with lights) to prevent Chapter 94 reclassification
• Conduct water absorption test; must meet porcelain definition (<0.5% absorption, translucent)
