Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify LED voltage ratings match US standards (typically 24V DC for industrial use) to avoid customs rejection

• Include detailed technical specs and photos in entry documentation to confirm classification as indicator panels

• Check for RoHS compliance certification, as many US buyers require it for electronic imports
