Import Tips

• Verify instrument calibration certificates and optical component specifications to confirm classification under optical radiation chemical analyzers

• Include detailed technical manuals showing infrared/UV/visible spectroscopy functions to avoid misclassification as general lab equipment

• Ensure FDA registration if destined for pharmaceutical use; common pitfall is incomplete radiation type documentation
