Import Tips
• Provide calibration certificates traceable to NIST standards, as particle sizing accuracy is critical for customs valuation
• Declare cleanroom compatibility class (e.g
• ISO 3) and obtain pre-shipment inspection reports to prevent delays
• Avoid common pitfalls by separating particle counters from general air quality monitors in documentation
