Import Tips
• Certify no anti-reflective coatings were applied post-annealing, as those qualify as 'worked' under chapter notes
• Use precise area calculations in invoices; sheets exactly at 0.26 m² may face scrutiny
• Differentiate from patterned glass (7003) by providing smooth surface photos and specs
