Import Tips & Compliance

β€’ Submit circuit schematics demonstrating power conversion topology to confirm classification

β€’ Avoid declaring as 'general PCBs' (8534); specify transformer/converter end-use explicitly

β€’ Batch imports require consistent valuation per board to prevent customs disputes
