Import Tips
• Include chemical composition certificates confirming borosilicate makeup and absence of lead or other modifiers
• Document annealing process only; any additional drawing to gauge or end-finishing moves it to worked category
• Check for unintentional coatings that could trigger classification under headings with absorbent or reflecting layers
