Import Tips
• Provide automotive qualification certificates (e.g
• AEC-Q100) to demonstrate principal optical use and avoid parts classification
• Declare exact plastic polymer type (PMMA/POF) on invoices; mismatches lead to reclassification
• Ensure bundles are not over 30m if for MOST protocol, as longer lengths may trigger different specs scrutiny
