Import Tips & Compliance

Verify the barometer is not combined with thermometers or hygrometers to ensure correct classification under 9025.80.1500

Provide calibration certificates and proof of standalone functionality for customs clearance

Label accurately as 'barometer only' to prevent reclassification as a combined instrument
