Import Tips
• Verify calibration accuracy with NIST-traceable certificates to meet US import standards for measuring instruments
• Include material safety data sheets for glass components to avoid classification issues during customs inspection
• Label clearly as 'non-recording hydrometer' to prevent misclassification under recording instruments in 9025.80.30
