Import Tips
• Certify portability dimensions and power source to align with traditional TV reception, not modern portables
• Include frequency response specs confirming VHF/UHF TV bands for proper 8528 classification
• Avoid declaring as 'monitor' to prevent shift to duty-free 8528.59; emphasize broadcast reception
