Import Tips
• Provide lab certification of tape width (exceeding 4mm ≤6.5mm) and magnetic composition to prevent misclassification as audio or wider formats
• Declare if tapes are blank or pre-recorded; both qualify but pre-recorded may require additional IP documentation
• Avoid bundling with players as sets could shift classification to assembled apparatus headings
