Import Tips

Verify all figures are pre-assembled as part of the nativity set to avoid reclassification as individual sculptures; provide assembly photos if needed

Include certificates of religious/festive use and origin documentation to qualify for lower duties under USMCA or EU agreements

Label as 'Christmas nativity scene' clearly to distinguish from decorative art; watch for material-specific restrictions on wood imports
