Import Tips
• Include engineering drawings showing answering machine-specific connectors and functions to support classification
• Label shipments clearly as 'parts for HTS 8521 apparatus' to prevent misclassification as general PCBs
• Avoid importing with universal telecom parts; segregation helps customs verification
