Import Tips & Compliance

• Differentiate from toy paperweights (9503) by proving office end-use via marketing materials

• Weigh and value each unit individually; bulk packaging doesn't aggregate for HTS value breaks

• Ensure no metal coatings qualifying as 'reflecting layer' per chapter note (b), which could reclassify
