Import Tips
• Provide automotive EMC test reports (CISPR 25) to demonstrate compliance with vehicle electromagnetic compatibility
• Label units clearly as 'for motor vehicle use only' to prevent reclassification as consumer portable radio
• Document tape mechanism specifications to distinguish from CD-based units under different subheadings
