Import Tips
• Include manufacturer specs confirming Hi8 format and exact tape width to distinguish from standard VHS or MiniDV formats
• Ensure cassettes are unrecorded or declare content type; pre-recorded tapes may face different valuation or IP scrutiny
• Avoid common pitfall of classifying with digital tape formats—strictly verify magnetic media composition
