Import Tips
• Include calibration certificates showing prism refractive index accuracy to ±0.0001 for proper classification
• Document compatibility with specific refractometer models (e.g
• ABBE type) to distinguish from general optical components
• Avoid bulk packaging that suggests general optical element use, which could trigger 9001 classification
