Import Tips

• Verify the video display diagonal measures ≤35.56 cm across the visible faceplate per US note definitions to avoid reclassification to larger screen subheadings

• Provide detailed technical specs confirming single direct-view picture tube (non-projection) and built-in VCR functionality in commercial invoice and packing list

• Include FCC compliance documentation for TV reception apparatus; watch for pitfalls in declaring as 'monitor only' which shifts to 8528.52
