Import Tips & Compliance

• Provide panel integration diagrams to prove relay function and avoid parts classification

• Ensure labeling indicates voltage ≤1,000V to prevent higher voltage heading misclassification

• Obtain supplier certification distinguishing from automotive (8536.49.0060) or telecom relays
