Import Tips & Compliance

• Specify rod diameter and length in shipping docs; declare as drawn/not blown if applicable

• Avoid common error of calling it 'float glass' – confirm drawn process via manufacturer certs

• Check for absorbent layers; if present, note per chapter rules but it may still qualify if thin
