Import Tips
• Submit detailed blueprints or photos confirming non-electric design and domestic scale to distinguish from commercial models
• Test alloy per subheading note; brass must have zinc > other elements excluding copper—retain foundry certifications
• Avoid misdeclaration as decorative item; emphasize cooking function in invoices to prevent shift to ornamental copper articles
