Import Tips
• Ensure tint levels comply with FMVSS 205 light transmission standards (minimum 70% for windshields)
• Declare exact VLT (visible light transmission) percentages on entry documents to prevent ASB (Aftermarket Safety Band) misclassification
• Use protective packaging like foam corners and shrink-wrap for fragile glass shipments
