Import Tips
• Verify tempering certification from manufacturer to confirm compliance with safety standards like ANSI Z97.1
• Include detailed technical specs and test reports in documentation to avoid misclassification as untempered glass
• Check for anti-reflective coatings, as they may trigger reclassification under different subheadings if not purely tempered
