Import Tips

Verify the glass is pressed or molded, not cast, with documentation like manufacturer specs to avoid reclassification under 7016.90.10.10

Include test reports confirming suitability for construction (e.g

compressive strength) to meet building code compliance

Check for wired glass elements, as wired variants may shift to other subheadings; declare accurately to prevent penalties
