Import Tips

• Provide spectral response documentation proving IR sensitivity to avoid misclassification as visible light phototransistor

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

• Ensure RoHS compliance certification; many electronics importers face delays without material content declarations
