Import Tips
• 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
