Import Tips

• Include photometric test data showing light transmission efficiency to prove optical function over mere conduit

• Separate fiber bundles from light sources/LEDs on entry; sets may classify differently

• Avoid 'decorative cord' labeling; specify 'optical fiber bundle' to match HTS description
