Import Tips
• Provide copyright licenses or permissions for recorded content to prevent IP seizure at customs
• Label cassettes clearly with 'pre-recorded sound' and playback time to distinguish from data or video tapes
• Avoid bulk packaging that mimics industrial reels, which could lead to misclassification as masters (8523.52)
