Import Tips & Compliance

β€’ Verify material composition (e.g

β€’ briar wood vs. synthetic) to confirm classification under 9614; provide lab tests if contested

β€’ Ensure no precious metals or stones exceed minor constituents to avoid reclassification

β€’ Label products clearly as 'tobacco smoking pipes' to distinguish from excluded toy items in Chapter 95
