Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify CRT dimensions exceed 35.56 cm diagonal and confirm single direct-view picture tube to avoid reclassification

• Include FCC certification and EMI test reports as U.S. imports require compliance for TV/VCR combos

• Document video recording function with technical specs to prevent customs disputes on incorporation
