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
