Import Tips
• Provide engineering diagrams showing VCR integration within the projector housing to prove 'incorporating' status per HTS notes
• Label units clearly as 'no TV tuner' to prevent confusion with reception apparatus in adjacent subheadings
• Test for radiation or high-speed features; if present, may require reclassification to 8525.81/8525.82
