Import Tips
• Verify calibration certificates and ensure tools meet NIST traceability for U.S. customs validation
• Label with country of origin and material composition (e.g
• stainless steel jaws) to comply with marking requirements
• Avoid classifying as automated under 9031 if no automatic data output; manual readouts stay in 9017
