Import Tips
• Confirm Digital8 specs match width limit; use calipers or OEM datasheets for customs documentation
• Label clearly as 'video tape recordings' to distinguish from data backup tapes which may go to 8523.21
• Beware of mixed shipments with wider formats causing entire lot reclassification
