Import Tips
• Verify voltage rating exceeds 100V and confirm filament type (tungsten/halogen) via manufacturer specs to avoid reclassification
• Include detailed spec sheets showing base type, wattage, and lumens in entry documentation for CBP review
• Watch for common pitfalls like mislabeling as low-voltage; test samples if origin claims halogen but specs indicate incandescent
