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
