Import Tips
• Verify the tape player mechanism is explicitly incapable of recording through technical specs and include engineering diagrams in documentation
• Label units clearly as 'playback only' to avoid CBP reclassification to recording-capable subheadings
• Test samples for FCC compliance on radio reception before import to prevent detention
