Import Tips
• Verify capacitance range and adjustment mechanism in specs to confirm variable classification under 8532.30
• Include detailed datasheets showing pre-set adjustability; avoid misclassification as fixed capacitors (8532.10)
• Check RoHS compliance and provide tolerance ratings to prevent customs holds on electronic components
