• Verify the primary material is brass (at least 50% by weight) via lab testing to confirm classification under 9405.19.40
• Include detailed blueprints showing fixed light source integration and ceiling-mount design in customs documentation
• Avoid misclassification as parts by ensuring complete assembly with bulbs and wiring upon import
