Import Tips
• Verify the tuner is solely for TV receivers and not a full printed circuit assembly to avoid reclassification
• Provide manufacturer specs confirming compliance with U.S. note 9 criteria for TV tuners
• Include FCC compliance documentation as tuners handle RF signals subject to regulatory approval
