Okay, let's break down the HS codes and tax implications for your declared items. I'll provide a structured analysis to help you understand the classification and potential costs.
Important Note: While I can provide guidance, the final HS code determination rests with customs officials. It's always best to confirm with them or a licensed customs broker.
1. CRYSTAL PEN HOLDER – HS Code: 7013.91.10.00
