Import Tips

Verify glass composition meets Chapter 70 definitions and provide lab certification to confirm it's not a complete luminaire excluded under Chapter 94 notes

Include detailed diagrams showing the globe's design for lamp fitting to prevent reclassification as a general glass article under 7013

Ensure packaging protects fragile glass during transit; declare as 'other glass globes' to avoid scrutiny as finished lighting fittings
