Import Tips & Compliance

Include OEM specifications confirming use in <18.65W haptics motors; ESD-safe packaging required

Declare gold plating thickness for accurate valuation; common error is undervaluation of precious metals

Pre-classify via binding ruling if multi-use claims arise to avoid port delays
