Import Tips

• Verify ITU-T compliance certificates and attenuation test reports to ensure classification as telecom optical fiber

• Include detailed specs on core/cladding diameter (e.g

• 9/125 μm) and wavelength optimization in commercial invoice

• Avoid misclassification as general cable by excluding any protective sheathing; import as bare fiber
