Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm the reflecting layer is microscopically thin and meets the definition in Note 2(c), as thicker coatings may alter classification
• Document the fire-resistance rating and wire mesh specifications for CBSA
• Ensure the glass is not further worked, such as cutting to shape with finished edges, which could affect classification
