Import Tips
• Provide switching cycle ratings (>100k cycles) and IP rating documentation; avoid classifying as pushbutton (8536.50.10)
• Include flammability ratings (94V-0) and temperature specs; pitfall is undervaluing high-volume shipments
• Use HTS 8536.50.9065 for monitored variants if applicable
