Import Tips
• Include Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for cadmium content to meet hazardous material import requirements
• Confirm thin-film deposition process documentation to validate photosensitive semiconductor status
• Avoid bundling multiple cells in shipments, as this risks classification as a partial module
