Import Tips
• Include phosphor type (tri vs halophosphate) in technical files but note it doesn't alter HTS—wattage/length govern classification
• For high-volume imports, pre-clear with FDA if used in food processing (though not required for lamps alone)
• Separate from end-use fixtures in declarations to prevent erroneous fixture classification and higher duties
