Import Tips
• Include lab analysis confirming glass composition if iridescence comes from coatings that might suggest 'worked' glass under chapter notes
• Label shipments clearly as 'decorative mosaic smallwares' to prevent confusion with construction materials
• For loose cubes without backing, provide evidence of mosaic end-use to distinguish from bulk glass
