Import Tips & Compliance
ā¢ Document helical scan format and 25.4mm tape width explicitly in commercial invoice for proper heading placement
ā¢ Obtain certificates confirming unrecorded status to prevent duty escalation under recorded media provisions
ā¢ Avoid common error of classifying with audio reels under 8523.29.20; emphasize video capability
