Import Tips
• Provide FCC certification and maritime type-approval docs to prove navigational aid functionality during customs review
• Label assemblies clearly as 'radio navigational aid parts' to prevent grouping with general communication boards
• Avoid pitfalls by excluding antennas or housings, as complete units may classify under 8526.91 instead of parts
