Import Tips & Compliance

Verify radar frequency band (X-band) and power output documentation to confirm 'other' radar classification excluding airborne systems

Include FCC certification and maritime approvals (e.g

IEC, COLREGS) in import docs to avoid customs holds

Beware of misclassification as radio navigational aids under 8526.91 if primarily GPS-based rather than radar scanning
