## Important notes

A standard inspection certificate is not the same as an accredited calibration certificate. Do not claim traceable calibration unless the seller supplies the required certificate. Keep the measuring faces clean, confirm zero, and use suitable safety controls for the workpiece.

Japan tax-free eligibility, actual local sales tax, daily FX, shipping, card fees, warranty, and import charges can change the final cost.
