Import Tips
• Verify total value per dozen units does not exceed $5 using commercial invoices; undervaluation leads to penalties
• Include material composition declaration (e.g
• stainless steel) and confirm base metal classification on entry docs
• Avoid common pitfall of classifying as jewelry if marketed solely as watch accessory to stay in Chapter 91
