Import Tips
• Provide technical drawings showing wiper and wound element to distinguish from fixed resistors during customs review
• Declare exact wattage rating (e.g
• 2W) as it affects duty verification; pitfalls include generic 'resistor' descriptions
• Bundle with end-use certificates if for military/aerospace to preempt ITAR scrutiny
