Import Tips
• Verify the assembly includes at least two components from U.S. note 9 (e.g
• tuner + audio) via detailed BOM for proper 8529.90.49 classification
• Provide engineering specs confirming sole use with 8528 apparatus; generic PCBs risk reclassification to 8537
• Include FCC compliance docs for RF tuner components to avoid customs holds
