Import Tips
• Verify the projector lacks any TV tuner or broadcast reception capability via technical specs to confirm 8528.69 classification
• Include detailed spec sheets showing resolution, light source (laser/LCD), and absence of TV reception in import documentation
• Avoid misclassification as TV receivers (8528.71+) by ensuring no over-the-air signal reception; common pitfall with hybrid models
