Import Tips
• Submit chemical composition analysis from accredited labs to prove tin dominance and lead percentage
• Label as 'not for food contact' due to high lead; comply with CPSIA if for decorative consumer items
• Avoid classifying as 'antique pewter' without provenance; modern alloys stay in Chapter 80
