Import Tips
• Verify tape width precisely measures between 4mm and 6.5mm using calipers to confirm subheading 8523.29.60.00 classification
• Provide detailed technical specs including magnetic coating type and base material in entry documentation to avoid misclassification as wider tapes
• Check for any pre-recorded content; unrecorded tapes qualify, but recorded ones may require additional declaration of phenomena recorded
