Import Tips
• Document the hand-cutting process with photos or videos to differentiate from machine-cut stone under Chapter 68
• Use customs valuation methods for original art, avoiding material cost basis that could lead to lower Chapter classification
• Label as 'original hand-executed mosaic' to align with statistical notes and avoid mass-production scrutiny
