Import Tips
• Label clearly as 'table lamp' to distinguish from floor-standing models in the same brass category
• Include wiring diagrams and bulb specifications in import docs for electrical compliance review
• Avoid common pitfall of undervaluing brass content, which triggers metal origin verification
