Import Tips
• Document the handmade assembly process with artist statements to prevent classification as manufactured goods
• Appraise value based on artistic merit, not material cost, and include in commercial invoice
• Watch for pitfalls in sets; collections of mixed cultural items must be reported separately per statistical notes
