Import Tips & Compliance

Include metallization thickness (nm) and dielectric constant specs to distinguish from plastic film (3920)

Mark packages 'Capacitor dielectric film only - not for packaging use' to prevent reclassification

Ensure country-of-origin reflects film metallization process, often different from base plastic origin
