Import Tips
• Verify the glass is not optically worked (e.g
• no lenses or prisms) to stay in 7015; provide manufacturing specs
• Include supplier certificates confirming round shape and watch glass use to avoid misclassification as parts
• Check for lead content if crystal-like; over 24% PbO shifts to lead crystal subheadings
