Import Tips
• Obtain jeweler-grade certification for silver plating purity to avoid reclassification; tarnish resistance testing is recommended
• Declare exact dimensions and weight, as oversized units may trigger additional freight surcharges or structural compliance checks
• Watch for clawfoot leg attachments—if sold as a set, ensure they don't alter classification to parts under 7324.90
