Import Tips
• Verify photosensitivity specs via datasheets to confirm classification under 8541, not optical sensors in Chapter 90
• Include RoHS compliance certificates as electronics imports face increasing environmental scrutiny
• Avoid misclassification as LEDs by ensuring no light-emitting function in product specs
