Import Tips
• Submit chemical composition reports proving metal flecks (e.g
• copper oxide) exceed trace levels and were added pre-solidification
• Label as 'glassware with embedded metal flecking' to facilitate customs review
• Watch for reclassification if flecks appear surface-applied rather than integral to the glass mass
