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
