Import Tips
• Include UL94 flammability ratings and peak pulse data in import docs; pitfalls include undeclared lead-free compliance
• Use HS description 'metal oxide varistor' precisely on entry forms to match tariff subheading
• Batch test certificates help prove MOV functionality vs. other resistor types during audits
