Import Tips

Verify CRT tube specifications confirm non-high definition (under 700 scanning lines) to avoid reclassification to high-def subheadings

Include detailed technical specs and user manuals as documentation to prove incorporation of video recording apparatus

Be aware of RoHS and environmental regulations for CRT imports; obtain disposal certifications if applicable
