Import Tips
• Conduct material testing to confirm brass base metal and negligible precious metal content under 2% per Chapter 71 note 5
• Use HTS explanatory notes to justify devotional character in entry summaries, avoiding general jewelry classification
• Package individually to emphasize personal devotional use, not bulk sales which might suggest commercial resale
