Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the cassette deck is declared as playback-only; if it can record, the item would not fall under 8527.91.00
• The presence of CD, USB, and SD playback does not change the classification, as the radio and cassette functions are primary
• Provide the user manual to confirm the non-recording cassette function
