Import Tips & Compliance

Document VHS mechanism integration explicitly; U.S

Customs may require test reports proving recording functionality

Label as 'incomplete - no display device' to prevent upgrade to finished monitor duties under 8528.49.15

Check for FCC compliance on video recording components to avoid detention; pitfall is undocumented analog signal processing
