Import Tips & Compliance
• Declare as 'ornamental only' with photos proving non-utilitarian design to prevent misclassification as household wares
• Provide material composition breakdown (clays, silicates) and firing records to substantiate Chapter 69 eligibility
• Watch for bulk packaging that might imply commercial planters, risking shift to horticultural headings
