Import Tips & Compliance

• Document the scale's sample counting mode and resolution specs to distinguish from plain weighing scales during customs review

• Check for country-of-origin marking on stainless steel platter; non-compliance can lead to penalties

• Obtain FCC certification if equipped with digital display interfaces to preempt electromagnetic compatibility issues
