Import Tips & Compliance

Verify frequency response certification (300 Hz-3.4 kHz) and dimensional specs via manufacturer datasheets for customs compliance

Include telecom end-use declaration; common pitfall is misclassification as general audio mics without size proof

Ensure RoHS compliance and provide Bills of Materials (BOM) showing MEMS components
