Import Tips

• Verify CRT phosphor type and video recording mechanism meet exact subheading criteria; obtain technical specs from manufacturer

• Include FCC certification and EMI test reports as U.S. imports require compliance with radiation and interference standards

• Label as 'incorporating video recording apparatus' to avoid reclassification; watch for high definition mislabeling pitfalls
