Import Tips
• Provide SMD package dimensions and pinout diagrams to distinguish from through-hole types during customs exam
• Declare power rating and temperature coefficient specs to support variable resistor classification
• Bundle with bill of materials (BOM) showing cermet usage in circuit applications
