Import Tips
• Include artist provenance and gallery invoices to substantiate value over $5 and decorative classification
• Test for fused silica/quartz content; if predominant, may invoke 'glass' definition but stays in 7013 if article form
• Photograph unpackaged item to prove it's not a set component during customs exam
