Import Tips

• Verify dielectric material via manufacturer specs to confirm plastic/paper classification under 8532.25, avoiding misclassification to ceramic (8532.23)

• Include detailed datasheets and test reports in documentation to prove fixed capacitance and voltage ratings for customs

• Watch for anti-dumping duties on Chinese capacitors; declare country of origin accurately to avoid penalties
