Import Tips
• Provide booth dimensions and token mechanism schematics to confirm it's not oversized commercial furniture
• Include proof of sound-only operation (headphone jacks, no speakers) to differentiate from public jukeboxes
• Watch for reclassification if booth includes seating, as assembled furniture elements could invoke Chapter 94
