Import Tips
• Conduct value calculations inclusive of all costs to ensure eligibility; overvaluation leads to higher duty brackets
• Label shipments clearly as 'plastic imitation jewelry' to facilitate quick customs review
• Test fiber string durability if for children's use to meet safety standards under CPSIA
