Import Tips
• Verify the millefiori or embedded decoration was created prior to solidification via manufacturer affidavits to confirm HTS 7013.99.1000 classification
• Provide lab analysis if questioned on whether patterns qualify as 'glass pictorial scenes' or metal flecking
• Avoid misclassification as simple colored glass by documenting the pre-solidification process
