Import Tips
• Separate solar panels (HTS 8541.40) from lamppost structures to maintain parts classification and optimize duties
• Document ornamental features (e.g
• finials, patterns) to justify value over basic poles
• Comply with UL 1598 standards for outdoor lighting components; provide test reports for customs
