Import Tips & Compliance

β€’ Provide spectral response documentation proving IR sensitivity to avoid misclassification as visible light phototransistor

β€’ Check for radiation-hardened versions which may require 8525.82 certification if used in high-radiation environments

β€’ Ensure RoHS compliance certification; many electronics importers face delays without material content declarations
