Import Tips
• Verify unit value with commercial invoices to confirm $3-$5 range; undervaluation leads to reclassification and penalties
• Ensure no lead content over 24% to avoid 'lead crystal' subheadings; provide lab test certificates if needed
• Label as 'drinking glasses' clearly; avoid marketing as decorative to prevent shifts to ornament subheadings
