Import Tips

Obtain FCC certification and include equipment authorization documents as these assemblies contain radio frequency components

Provide detailed bills of materials (BOM) listing all ICs and passive components to verify classification under navigational aid parts

Avoid misclassification as complete GPS units (8526.91); ensure entry specifies 'subassembly for heading 8526 apparatus'
