Import Tips
• Verify the light source is permanently fixed and not user-replaceable to avoid reclassification as general lighting fittings under 9405.11-9405.19
• Include detailed photos and wiring diagrams in documentation to prove it's an illuminated sign rather than a luminaire
• Ensure UL or ETL certification for electrical safety to prevent customs holds on import
