Import Tips

• Verify the device meets camcorder definition (video camera with recording capability) via technical specs to avoid reclassification as digital still cameras under 8525.89.40

• Include FCC certification and EMI test reports in documentation, as consumer electronics face strict import compliance checks

• Label battery type and capacity accurately; lithium-ion batteries may trigger additional hazardous materials declarations
