Import Tips

• Verify ballast compatibility with specific lamp wattage and voltage to ensure classification remains under 8504.10; mismatched units may be reclassified as general converters

• Include technical datasheets showing current/voltage regulation for discharge lamps in documentation to prove HTS compliance and avoid customs delays

• Check for FCC certification as electromagnetic ballasts can interfere with radio frequencies; non-compliant units face detention
