Import Tips

Verify the camera does not meet high-speed (8525.81), radiation-hardened (8525.82), or night vision (8525.83) criteria through technical specs to avoid misclassification

Include FCC certification and EMI test reports in documentation, as transmission apparatus may require compliance with radio frequency regulations

Declare accurate video resolution and frame rates; exceeding 225,000 fps could shift to 8525.81, leading to audits
