Import Tips

Specify tin plating thickness (e.g

40 microinches) and reflow characteristics to meet IPC standards expected by CBP

Use harmonized alloy designation (e.g

UNS C75700) on commercial invoice for quick verification

Avoid coiling wire too tightly during packing to prevent plating cracks that could trigger quality disputes
