Import Tips
• Verify the glass originates from headings 7003, 7004, or 7005 via mill certificates to confirm base material classification
• Ensure documentation proves no framing or additional fittings, as that shifts to heading 7007
• Test for safety standards like ANSI Z26.1 for automotive use to avoid customs holds
