Import Tips

• Include schematic diagrams showing series wiring and flasher integration to prevent misclassification as parallel sets

• Label products with country of origin and 'Indoor Christmas use only' to comply with Chapter 94 floor-standing exclusions

• Watch for REACH compliance if from EU suppliers; phthalates in wire insulation are common rejection reasons
