Import Tips

• Include calibration traceability (e.g

• to 0.0002in tolerance) for duty-free lab instrument claims

• Specify plus/minus tolerances in documentation; customs distinguishes from plain steel pins

• Package in protective cases labeled as measuring sets to avoid part-of-machine scrutiny
