Import Tips
• Verify that the lantern is not classified as a signaling device under Chapter 90, as optical or signaling equipment may be excluded from Chapter 94
• If the lantern includes any electrical components, it would be reclassified under Chapter 85, so ensure it is purely flame-based
• Provide a certificate of origin if importing from a country with a free trade agreement to claim preferential duty rates
