Import Tips

• Verify the assembly includes only specified components from U.S

• Note 9 (video IF, processing, sync, audio systems, power supply) without display to qualify as 'incomplete'; adding a screen shifts classification

• Provide detailed bills of materials and assembly diagrams to CBP to confirm 'incorporating video recording apparatus' and avoid reclassification as finished goods

• Ensure radiation or high-speed features are absent, as those would move to 8525.81 or 8525.82; common pitfall is incomplete documentation leading to higher duties
