Import Tips
• Label shipments clearly as 'proprietary software media - HTS 8523.49.40.00' to prevent confusion with entertainment media
• Provide proof of software value separate from any bundled documentation to accurately declare transaction value
• Check for regional encoding; mismatched formats may trigger reclassification scrutiny
