Import Tips
• Document that base is imported separately from solar panels or lights to maintain parts classification
• Conduct metallurgical testing for cast iron purity, as alloy blends may trigger reclassification
• Include installation manuals to demonstrate end-use as lamppost support, preventing general hardware miscoding
