Import Tips

• Verify the light-reflecting surface contains glass grains (ballotini) meeting subheading criteria; provide lab test reports if requested by customs

• Ensure accurate labeling of plastic type and adhesive properties; common pitfall is misclassifying non-ballotini reflective tapes

• Obtain safety certifications (e.g

• ASTM D4956) to support classification and avoid reclassification to non-reflective plates/sheets
