Import Tips
• Verify FCC certification for TV tuners as required for U.S. market entry and include certification documents in shipment paperwork
• Label clearly as 'TV reception apparatus without display' to avoid misclassification as complete TV sets
• Check for ATSC 3.0 compatibility if marketing as next-gen tuner to ensure compliance with digital TV standards
