Import Tips

• Verify the fixture is for indoor private use, not public thoroughfares, to avoid reclassification under outdoor lighting headings

• Include detailed photos and specs confirming permanently fixed light source and wall-mount design in entry documentation

• Label fiber content if any fabric shades are present; common pitfall is misdeclaring as chandelier if multi-arm
