Import Tips
• Document decorative etching as non-functional to prevent reclassification as 'worked' glass under different headings
• Ensure country-of-origin marking on each glass; pitfalls include bulk packaging mislabeled as sets
• Use commercial invoices with per-unit pricing; FDA prior notice may apply if marketed for food contact
