Import Tips
• Verify wall thickness ≥1.65mm and circular cross-section via caliper measurements for accurate classification
• Provide manufacturer specs confirming principal use as illuminating article parts to avoid reclassification to general tubing
• Include end-user declarations if exported for lighting applications to support customs valuation
