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
