Import Tips
• Verify purity certification to confirm fused quartz composition (SiO2 >99.9%) as per chapter notes including fused silica in 'glass' definition
• Provide mill test reports documenting unworked status to avoid misclassification as worked glass under 7002.32
• Ensure packaging prevents damage, as rods are fragile; declare exact dimensions for accurate valuation
