Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify the exact video display diagonal measurement (max straight line across visible faceplate) does not exceed 39 cm using official US note definition to avoid reclassification
• Include CRT safety certifications (e.g
• UL, FCC) and phosphor coating documentation, as customs may inspect for radiation emission compliance common in vintage tube imports
