Import Tips

• Include bulb efficiency ratings and wattage certification to confirm HTS 8539.32.00.40 applicability during customs review

• Label shipments clearly as 'mercury-containing lamps' to meet DOT hazardous material transport rules

• Avoid bulk imports without proper stabilization; fragile bulbs often lead to rejection or additional fees
