Import Tips
• Provide ballast compatibility charts (magnetic vs electronic) in import docs to assist CBP but classification remains lamp-specific
• Label shipments with 'Contains Mercury - Dispose Properly' per EPA rules to expedite customs clearance
• Avoid bulk packing over 1000 units per pallet to minimize damage claims during transit
