Import Tips
• Verify that the glass meets pressed or molded criteria per Chapter 70 notes to avoid misclassification as cast glass
• Provide architectural specification documents showing construction use to support duty-free or preferential treatment claims
• Check for wired glass variants, as wiring may require separate statistical reporting under related subheadings
