Import Tips
• Verify the appraised value per unit falls strictly between $3 and $5 to avoid reclassification into higher or lower value subheadings
• Provide detailed invoices specifying cut or engraved features and ensure lab tests confirm it's not lead crystal (under 24% PbO)
• Include certificates of origin and photos of engravings to support classification as ornamental kitchen glassware
