Import Tips
• Provide test reports for flicker-free operation and heat resistance, as incandescent sets face stricter fire safety scrutiny
• Specify 'miniature series' on entry docs; parallel-wired sets may qualify for different subheadings within 9405
• Avoid common pitfall of under-declaring wattage, which can trigger FDA or CPSC inspections for consumer product safety
