Import Tips
• Verify the glass has less than 24% lead monoxide (PbO) content to qualify as non-lead crystal per subheading notes
• Provide lab test certificates confirming composition and value under $3 per unit to avoid reclassification
• Label products clearly as 'non-lead crystal' to prevent confusion with higher-duty lead crystal items
