Import Tips
• Verify FCC certification and ITAR/EAR export control classifications before import; microwave amps often require end-user statements
• Provide detailed frequency specs and power output in documentation to avoid misclassification
• Common pitfall: failing to declare integrated cooling systems which may trigger additional reviews
