Import Tips
• Document intended use as 'indoor decoration' to differentiate from lighting fixtures in other chapters
• Avoid bulk packaging that might suggest industrial use, which could reclassify under parts headings
• Include photos and samples if challenged on 'worked' status per chapter note (a), as pre-annealing processes don't count
