Import Tips
• Verify spectral response documentation to confirm photosensitive classification vs optical sensors (Chapter 90)
• Include manufacturer specs proving PN junction diode construction for CBP review
• Avoid misclassification as finished sensors (HTS 9031) by importing as bare semiconductor components
