Import Tips
• Verify the glass originates from float, sheet, or plate glass in headings 7003-7005 via supplier certificates to avoid misclassification
• Ensure documentation proves bending and edge-working processes but no framing or additional fittings, common pitfalls leading to reclassification
• Comply with DOT safety standards for automotive glass; test reports may be required at customs to confirm tempering
