Import Tips
• Include engineering drawings showing cone dimensions and PbO content to confirm CRT-specific design
• Avoid common pitfall of declaring as 'bulb' which shifts to 7011.10; specify 'open cone without neck'
• For high-volume imports, consider binding rulings from CBP to lock in 7011.20.10.00 classification
