Import Tips

• Verify the screen is a flat panel and confirm it has TV tuner/reception capability to justify 8528.72 classification over monitor codes

• Include FCC certification and energy efficiency labels in documentation to meet U.S. import standards for consumer electronics

• Avoid misclassification as a computer monitor by proving primary TV broadcast reception function; common pitfall leads to audits
