Import Tips & Compliance

• Include chemical composition analysis showing borosilicate to leverage chapter note on fused quartz/silica

• Ensure declaration specifies 'not otherwise worked' to prevent reclassification to 7006 for profiled sheets

• Test for coatings; even thin reflecting layers could shift to specific 7004 subheadings if declared
