But how you declare on your customs form matter,if you can also look up the code for that category,one good example is jade ,jadeite used in jewelry or nephrite jade as carvings like incense burner,urns,animals .
if you just say jade,customs could tax you as jewelry,but if you say stone carvings,then it is less $$.
antiques and handmade artwork has no customs duty,handpainted porcelain work which I have imported will be duty free. |
