Import Tips
• Declare production method (blown vs drawn) explicitly in commercial invoice to avoid disputes with float glass classification
• Test for non-reflecting layers if coated; declare if present as it doesn't affect heading but requires note
• Package securely to prevent breakage; use customs valuation including packing costs to avoid undervaluation penalties
