Import Tips
• Include spectral analysis reports proving the coating's reflecting properties to comply with chapter note (c) definitions
• Avoid common error of declaring as 'tinted glass' if coating is present; specify 'reflecting layer' on commercial invoice
• For bulk shipments, ensure sheets are separated by paper interleaving to prevent scratches, which could lead to damage claims
