Import Tips

• Verify lamp specifications match mercury vapor classification; provide technical datasheets showing mercury fill and non-UV design to avoid misclassification

• Check for hazardous material declarations due to mercury content; comply with EPA and TSCA regulations for import documentation

• Ensure packaging prevents breakage, as damaged lamps may trigger waste classification issues under environmental laws
