Import Tips
• Verify the subassembly contains at least two PCBs or ceramic substrates with active components to qualify under 8529.90.89.00
• Provide detailed Bills of Materials (BOM) listing all components to avoid reclassification as complete tuners (8529.90.33)
• Label clearly as 'TV subassembly - not for retail sale' to prevent misclassification as finished goods under 8528
