Import Tips
• Provide OEM documentation proving telecom base station compatibility to justify 8504.40.8500 over general categories
• Ensure RoHS compliance and EMI testing reports for telecom imports to pass customs scrutiny
• Avoid misclassification by distinguishing from industrial rectifiers; telecom-specific efficiency ratings are key
