Import Tips
• Verify material composition (e.g
• briar wood vs. synthetic) to confirm classification under 9614; provide lab tests if contested
• Ensure no precious metals or stones exceed minor constituents to avoid reclassification
• Label products clearly as 'tobacco smoking pipes' to distinguish from excluded toy items in Chapter 95
