• Document the engraving process and dimensions to differentiate from plain glassware and justify the value bracket
• Avoid common pitfalls like undervaluation by providing commercial invoices with unit pricing and total shipment value breakdowns
• Ensure packaging labels indicate 'for table use' to prevent misclassification as general household goods
