Import Tips
• Verify snap-action mechanism certification to distinguish from limit switches (8536.50.70) and ensure voltage ≤1,000V
• Include UL/CSA listings and material safety data sheets; common pitfall is misclassifying as relays (8536.49)
• Declare exact electrical ratings and end-use to avoid reclassification as keyboard assemblies (8471.60)
