Import Tips
• Provide spectral response curves showing visible light sensitivity (400-700nm) to distinguish from IR-only devices
• Declare as discrete component, not IC, with leadframe photos confirming single transistor die construction
• Watch for reclassification as display parts (8531.90) if marketed specifically for LCD backlight systems
