Import Tips & Compliance

Verify exact dimensions and thickness with calipers to confirm under 0.26 m² and 2-3.5 mm for correct classification

Provide mill test certificates showing drawn glass production method and absence of further working like polishing

Avoid common pitfalls by ensuring no edge grinding or shaping, as that shifts to 7005.10 or 7007
