Import Tips
• Verify the crystal is 'mounted' (fixed in housing) vs loose crystal blanks, which classify under 8541.90
• Include technical specs like frequency tolerance and load capacitance in documentation for CBP verification
• Ensure RoHS compliance certificates if destined for consumer electronics to avoid entry delays
