Import Tips
• Measure and document exact tape width on invoices; Hi8's 6.35mm fits precisely, but variations could lead to audio tape reclassification
• Label as 'video magnetic tape' distinctly from audio to comply with 'other phenomena' distinction in heading 8523
• For bulk imports, segregate blank vs recorded tapes to simplify customs valuation and declaration
