Import Tips
• Verify no precious metals or stones are used to avoid reclassification under Chapter 71 headings like 7113
• Include certificates confirming devotional purpose and material composition (e.g
• pewter alloy) in documentation
• Label as 'imitation jewelry' to prevent customs disputes over jewelry vs. religious item status
