Import Tips
• Verify frequency certification (exactly 32.768 kHz) via manufacturer specs or test reports to confirm classification under 8541.60.00.10
• Include RoHS compliance documentation as these crystals often contain lead in soldering; ensure proper labeling for electronics imports
• Avoid misclassification as general semiconductor devices (8541.40); specify 'mounted quartz for 32.768 kHz' on commercial invoice
