Import Tips
• Verify DOT (Department of Transportation) certification and FMVSS 205 compliance for all imported windshields to avoid CBP rejection
• Include detailed technical specs like glass thickness and interlayer material in commercial invoices to prevent misclassification
• Check for anti-dumping duties on Chinese-origin glass; source from approved manufacturers to minimize tariffs
