Import Tips

• Verify exact length (1.2m) and wattage (30-40W range) via manufacturer specs to confirm HTS classification; slight deviations shift to adjacent subheadings

• Include RoHS compliance certification and energy efficiency labels in documentation, as required for EU-sourced fluorescent lamps entering the US

• Avoid common pitfalls like misdeclaring as LED equivalents (HTS 8539.5x), which have different duty rates and regulations
