Import Tips
• Provide detailed technical datasheets showing wirewound element to distinguish from cheaper non-wirewound imports
• Ensure RoHS compliance declarations for hazardous substances, common pitfall in EU-sourced dimmers
• Batch import declarations should specify single-unit vs multi-gang configurations to avoid parts classification errors
