Import Tips
• Measure tape width precisely (typically 8mm for Hi8) and retain supplier certifications to substantiate classification
• Avoid bundling with players; separate imports prevent set classification under 8527 or 8519
• Check for pre-recorded content which may alter 'whether or not recorded' status but remains eligible
