Import Tips
• Specify 'office decoration' on entry docs; functional desk items risk reclass to 7013 lower value tiers
• Provide customization invoices showing per-unit value to counter bulk import undervaluation claims
• Ensure no absorbent/reflecting layers per chapter note, or disclose for potential 7005 classification
