Import Tips
• 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
