Import Tips
• Obtain supplier affidavits confirming value per piece and lead content to defend against undervaluation claims
• Avoid marketing as 'decorative' to prevent shift to heading 7013.99 if not primarily table use
• Comply with FDA lead leaching limits for food-contact glassware, even if tariff notes focus on PbO content
