Import Tips

• Verify the exact video display diagonal measurement across the visible faceplate does not exceed 34.29 cm to avoid reclassification to larger screen subheadings

• Include detailed technical specs confirming single picture tube (CRT) design and non-high definition (≤700 scanning lines) in entry documentation

• Obtain FCC compliance certification as these vintage CRT devices may require radiation emission testing; watch for hazardous material declarations for leaded glass
