Import Tips & Compliance

Verify sheet dimensions and thickness certification to confirm <5mm and 0.65-0.8m² area for this subheading; provide lab test reports on request

Document the non-reflecting layer specs per chapter note (c) to avoid misclassification as plain float glass

Ensure supplier declarations confirm LCD suitability to prevent shifts to general glass sheets
