Import Tips
• Use per-unit invoicing with photos to prove low value and prevent customs from applying transaction value methods
• Confirm no precious metal or stone elements, as those could invoke special rules under Chapter 96 notes
• Package individually to maintain 'each' valuation; bulk packing risks 'per kg' duty assessment
