Import Tips

Provide wavelength response curves (e.g

0.8-2.5μm) in entry docs to substantiate infrared classification

Check for dual-use export controls under EAR for high-resolution optics potentially applicable to military tech

Bundle with custom mountings carefully—sets for retail may classify differently than bulk components
