Import Tips
• Ensure the satellite is declared as a spacecraft under heading 88.02, not as telecommunications equipment of Chapter 85
• Provide technical documentation (e.g
• orbital parameters, payload specs) to support classification
• Verify whether export permits from the country of origin are required, as military communications satellites may be subject to controlled goods regulations
