Import Tips

• Include OEM specifications confirming non-projection design and video display diagonal to prevent reclassification to larger or projection tube categories

• Label with exact dimensions and 'color CRT television picture tube' to distinguish from industrial or monochrome tubes during customs inspection

• Watch for common pitfalls like incomplete phosphor processing, which could shift classification to unfinished parts under 8540.91
