Import Tips

Include ferrule polish grade (UPC/APC) and insertion loss specifications in commercial invoice for Customs verification

Batch test water absorption per ASTM C373 if stoneware classification questioned, though high-fired alumina/zirconia typically qualifies

Avoid bundling with connector housings to prevent classification as complete connector under Chapter 85
