Import Tips
• Provide user manual excerpts confirming combined I/O functionality to prevent reclassification as separate display
• Include CRT high-voltage safety certifications; older units may require updated compliance labels
• Declare accurately for vintage status to leverage any temporary duty suspensions for legacy technology
