Import Tips
• Provide evidence of belt-drive mechanism and lack of external power amplification to maintain 8519.30 classification
• Check for CE marking or equivalent; US importers often need ETL certification for audio electronics
• Avoid misclassification by specifying it's not a 'cassette player' or radio-integrated unit per chapter notes
