Import Tips
• Verify the brass composition meets 99%+ purity standards to avoid reclassification under base metal parts in Chapter 83
• Provide detailed engineering drawings showing it's a luminaire part, not furniture hardware, to prevent misfiling
• Include invoices specifying 'brass luminaire parts' to avoid common pitfalls like undervaluation disputes
