Import Tips

Verify CPU specifications match 'central processing unit' definition; provide manufacturer datasheets showing core architecture and clock speeds

Ensure RoHS compliance certification and proper electrostatic discharge (ESD) packaging to avoid damage during transit

Declare exact model and stepping; misclassification as general processors (8542.31.00.00) is a common pitfall
