Import Tips

Verify certification to statistical note 12 requirements via manufacturer specs showing crystalline silicon composition and PV cell function

Include test reports confirming cell efficiency and material purity to avoid reclassification as unassembled modules

Ensure proper packing lists distinguish individual cells from modules to prevent duty rate misapplication
