Import Tips

• Verify the string is marketed explicitly for Christmas trees via packaging and clips to avoid reclassification as general LED strips under 9405.42

• Include detailed photos and specs showing fixed light sources and tree-use design in entry documentation to confirm HTS 9405.39.00

• Test for UL or ETL safety certification, as U.S. customs may scrutinize imported holiday lights for electrical compliance
