Import Tips
• Verify exact valuation per unit (over $3 but ≤$5) with invoices to avoid reclassification to higher/lower subheadings
• Confirm glass is not glass-ceramic (cristallite content) or lead crystal (>24% PbO) via lab testing if disputed
• Include certificates of origin and material composition to prevent common pitfalls like misvaluation at customs
