Import Tips & Compliance

• Provide branding specifications and installation instructions showing wall-mounted nameplate use to distinguish from general lighting

• Label fiber optic or LED components clearly if integrated, as customs may scrutinize for parts classification

• Avoid bulk packaging that suggests retail sets, which could trigger reclassification under toy or decorative exclusions
