Import Tips
• Verify metal glaze construction via manufacturer specs to confirm HTS 8533.40.80.60 classification; provide datasheets to customs
• Include RoHS compliance certification as electronics importers often face scrutiny on hazardous substances
• Avoid misclassification as fixed resistors (8533.10) by documenting adjustability; bundle in kits may shift to parts heading
