Import Tips
• Provide NIST-traceable calibration certificates to prove metrological purpose and avoid bulk metal rod classification
• Declare exact tolerances (e.g
• +/-0.0001 inch) in entry docs to substantiate as a specialized accessory
• Avoid pitfall of undervaluing; calibration standards often scrutinized for anti-dumping in precision steel
