Import Tips & Compliance

• Provide optical specs and compatibility certifications proving integration with 9405 spotlights to distinguish from Chapter 70 glassware

• Avoid common error of importing with assembled luminaires, as separate entry under parts may lower duties but requires precise invoicing

• Ensure no Chapter 70 exclusions apply by documenting non-general glass sheet status
