Import Tips
• Verify frequency stability specs and tolerance in documentation to confirm classification as mounted piezo crystal
• Include test reports showing piezoelectric properties; misclassification as semiconductor devices is common
• Ensure RoHS compliance labeling for electronics imports to avoid customs holds
