Import Tips
• Document glass thickness and shatter resistance to prove it's a protective luminaire, not fragile glassware
• Declare as 'non-electrical' explicitly; mismatches lead to delays in electrical vs. non-electrical scrutiny
• Include origin certificates for metal components to benefit from potential duty reductions under trade agreements
